Sundaystills: Hands

This pair of hands control the sound systems of Mt Albert Baptist Chruch. The hands belong to Thomas, an incredible young man who I have the privilege of knowing when he volounteers with me in the creche

It was the Thai King's birthday, and devotees and royal subjects pray for his health at Rocket park.

This Thai woman has a long wooden pound and pestle as she hammers away to make papaya salad.

Thai monks at the ceremony of the King's birthday. In Thailand, all boys become monks for a period of time. It is liken to the National Service.

Here's Sam harvesting tomatoes. We grew them too late, and they look like cherry tomatoes.

It is handy to know how to sew. I was making wheat heat bags. They are great as winter looms.

Occasionally, I make foods from other places. Here I am wrapping Vietnamese Rice paper roll. You need a delicate hand, and I try my best, as my tendency to be quick and rush through with my work.

You see the coiled up snake at the corner in my nephew's house in Brisbane, Australia. You need brave hands to solve this problem.

The brave lady from SPCA came and caught the snake. My brave nephew is trying to be Xena's sidekick Gabrielle, is giving her a hand.

The Australian Xena is catching the snake. There are lots of snakes in Australia. I am glad there is no snakes in New Zealand.

Some brave hand took this photo. The poor animal was a rather big possum. Some people in Australia are funny, they let possums live in their attic. No wonder snakes come to the house. I don't mean my nephew, in his case, his house bordered to the bush.

Sam is like a monkey and a spider man. His hands appear to have suctions.

My grand nephew enjoying himself.

Many years ago, a group of kind children, they rescue some puppies. These are their caring hands.

Fancy meeting you here, an Kiwi Artist Wilson in the Mulu resort commissioned to paint Sarawak landscape.

A punan/penan nomadic woman holds her flute while she plays it with her nose in Mulu highlands.

Hands that is cooled down by an ice cold sprit. The comfort the hands have given the head after a loooong hike in a tropical jungle can be seen on his face.

It's amazing what our pair of hands can do. In some countries like Thailand and India, children are kidnapped and have their hands maimed and then made to beg for this cruel syndicate. My late maternal grand mother who was a devote Buddhist taught us not to emulate this evil people. They will be reborn with a worst fate that they become not only armless but legless as well.

My photos are chosen as they show some of the thing our hands do. The list is not exhaustive, I could go on, but this is a representative.
