in her past life, Lilah was a Moken

Lilah often remarks that she should have been born in France.   Paris, to be precise.  And often, I think she is right.  She is quite French in her nature.  However, yesterday, whilst trolling the BBC website, I came across this series of photographs, which were all strangely familiar to me.  And then I realised.  Of course, they all look like Lilah under water.

She would do this.  No problem.  

In un-Lilah related news, the photographs come from Sophie Olsen of Project Moken.  These are a nomadic sea-based people whose way of life is slowly being destroyed due to the influx of Western culture and ideas.  The project seeks to bring awareness to this incredible (and partly amphibic) people.

Something you may not have known is that thanks to their brilliant understanding of the Ocean's temperament, the Moken were responsible for saving hundreds, if not thousands of lives when the disastrous Indonesian tsunami struck in 2004.

Anyway...
