ooo,ooo, Gypsy Woman …................................

great shot. loved the info too. reminds me of the movie Chocolate.

Linaji, wonderful capture. Oh no….it sounds like KJ is singing! lol Now I can’t get Cher out of my head singing Gypsy Woman.

She is beautiful and I love the colors and her clothes, I like this very much…good job :)

What a beautiful portrait and a stunning capture of this woman! The mystic of the gypsy is legendary! Lovely dress! You know they may have something in regards to the philosophy since we definitely consume way too much in our society and they truly respect what is essential!

Inrebibly beautiful Lina….I am glad she isn’t giving me that look….These people have so much that most of the people in this world could learn from…..wonderfully done!

i love this…..so captivating….such beautiful skin she has….the colors here…..i love this…did i already say that? :-)

Absolutely stunning photograph.

The first time I ever heard of gypsy was from “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame” hense a very beautiful image like that of Esmeralda. I was told that gypsy meant Egyptina (and I see camels here!) then later on there theives; totally different from what I pictured before.

Wow! What a stunning photo of a beautiful woman.
This one’s a masterpiece, Linaji!
And I knew nothing of the history of this people. We have them in the US, also. Thanks for the history and info.
I should think that any footloose population would be suspect in government eyes.

_she how high she flys.?
SEE how High She flies….You must be flying high…..

This is a beautiful capture but she does not look like any Sintiza or Roma that I have ever seen. I presume you took this picture in India. I wander what their tribe is because “Gypsies” is just a given name because people thought in Europe that they came from Egypt. As Roma’s came to Europe in the 1400’s from Punjab, Sinti came from the land of Sinth which is Pakistan today and have been already in Europe in the 1100’s. Sinti left India over 2000 years ago. I am a Sintiza and was born in Germany, many people have a misnomer about us, people think that there are “Gypsies” because they travel, they can call themselves that way if they which to do so, but being Sinti or Roma you have to be born to that nation you just can’t become one. People also need to understand that Sinti and Roma had no choice but to travel because they where not accepted by society, it was not that romantic as it seemed, but a way of survival. Today many Sinti and Roma are well educated but unfortunately many are still deprived to receive education do to social standards Romania and Italy are one of the countries. Sadly to say hatred and prejudice still exists today in many countries.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
congrats dear!!! WOF WOF WOF!!

There are actually two branches of ’’Gypsies” – The Rroma (who were originally from the Punjabi region of India as you stated), the word Rroma means ’’Husbandmen” and their language is still very similar to many Indian dialects.
Then there are the Gypsies – who received their name from Egypt – where they originated.
Regardless of what branch – many Gypsies still face intense discrimination the world over. And are among the most persecuted peoples in Europe.
Thank you for this amazing tribute and information. But most of all thank you for showing them love and compassion.
(My paternal grandfather and his family were gypsy circus performers and endured much hardship under Nazi Germany.)

Awesome work Lina! Thanks for the background info too!

Great colors and full of life.

Well here I am again..I love your story and photograph of the gypsy..My one great grandmother came from Czechoslovia, she use to tell me about the gysies..when they would hear them coming, all the kids would run under their beds.. that was somewhere around ..could you believe..1890 or so, love it Sherri

How did I miss this one ???
Wonderful shot Lina !!!!!!! :)

Great Hugs :)
