Zhoen said...: Pete,
I believe you, of course. But they don't look it. More like serene suffering, to me.; 9 January 2017 at 11:53

pohanginapete said...: Zhoen, maybe they're just doing yoga (which strikes me as an attempt at serene suffering).

Kia ora Robb. I hadn't thought of that comparison, but you're right. They're very much part of their environment.; 10 January 2017 at 16:23
