Reading the past

I took this at a monastery that I went to with the kids from the orphanage a while back. The monks there were donating blankets and towels to all the kids from the Umbrella Foundations' seven orphanages, as well as a lot of older locals unable to support themselves, including this friendly old lady that I shared a smile with.

What an amazing face. Her eyes are so kind and gentle. Any idea how old she is?

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. As for how old the lady is, I'm not too sure. I've found that the people here in Nepal have led such tough lives that their faces often display the experience of people many years older. Which doesn't really answer the question, does it......

In short, I have no idea.
