20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
farmer as a friend

I traveled to many villages this summer and had a wonderful view that satisfied me. I was tired and alone and I saw agriculture alone from afar. I did not know him but I wanted to see him. I enjoyed his warm welcome and we became very close to each other. He had a sofa to sit next to his farm. He was also alone, but he was very satisfied with the agricultural life. I came from a crowded city, but there was a beautiful silence and peace that attracted me. He told about his life and me too. In the end, we said goodbye to each other with great respect and sincerity, and he gave me some watermelons from his land. A few days later, I sent him the photos I took of him and he was happy. At first, I didn't know him, but I let this acquaintance happen in my life. as simple as that .
