TIME FOR TEA -- Down on the Farm in OLD JAPAN

Time to get away from the lovely Geisha, and visit the countryside...where we can have a nice tea break with some farm folks who actually do an honest days work.

Not that the Geisha don't work hard at what they do, but after constantly sticking their heads into buckets of lead-based face paint for years on end, causing their mental faculties to devolve into disconnected conversations built around half-truths, innuendo, flattery, and outright lies, it makes fellowship with the home-spun farmer and his family seem like a breath of fresh air !

OK...so I exaggerated a bit about the Geisha. They are actually very nice girls, and, if you can't stand being on a farm, click here to escape into the arms of refined femininity : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2802613366/

Otherwise, click here for a close look at a well processed and nicely hand-colored old albumen print that still looks great after 120 years : ♥ www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/4624496561/sizes/o/
