Squirrels enjoy the vibrant floral colours of summer by playing with and smelling lots of different plants. The small rodents appear to particularly enjoy the dandelions, blowing the delicate seeds everywhere and even trying to eat them.
The striking red of their fur stands out against the pinks, purples and yellows of the summertime scene. These adorable images were taken in Bispgarden, Sweden, by photographer Geert Weggen who uses nuts and seeds to entice squirrels to the scenes in his garden. SEE OUR COPY FOR DETAILS.

March 25, 2024 - Buenos Aires, Argentina: A man drinks herbal tea from a traditional mate, at the ATIS bar, which was once the Santa Maria de Salud monastery, home to nuns since 1800. This image could be in the garden of a local's house. "Mate" is a way that brings locals together to share their feelings with friends, through conversation, culture, socialization, and hospitality. In the last government's Argentina, inequalities widened drastically due to severe cuts and austerity measures, to the point where even the International Monetary Fund (IMF) might be envious. The percentage of the population living at or below the poverty line rose to 57.4%, about 27 million citizens. The primary cause of this deterioration in living standards was the government's decision to devalue the peso, which, alongside other measures, deprived much of society of the ability to access basic goods. Public spending has been reduced by about a third, particularly in the areas of health, social security, and education. In the heart of Buenos Aires, hardship, poverty, exhaustion and despair are etched in the faces of ordinary people. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

March 18, 2024 - Iguazu, Argentina: A little Guaraní girl plays in the traditional M'bororé village of her tribe, near the Falls on the Brazilian side of Foz do Iguaçu National Park. The village of M'bororé is inhabited by the indigenous Guaraní, who once inhabited the vast expanses of the South American jungle, from the Amazon basin to nearly the mouth of the Paraná River. It is made up of various ethnic groups, united by a language of unique beauty, the cultivation of the land, and a worldview directly connected to the jungle. Their customs, fishing and hunting methods, legends, and language have survived to this day. In the last government's Argentina, inequalities widened drastically due to severe cuts and austerity measures. The percentage of the population living at or below the poverty line rose to 57.4%, about 27 million citizens. Public spending has been reduced by about a third, particularly in the areas of health, social security, and education.

Kalash, ancient tribe of Pakistan in Taliban region
May 16, 2024- Kallas Valleys, Pakistan: The Kalash director at the elementary school sells handmade items and braided braids made by the children to support the poor ones and their families. The Kalash, living in a predominantly Muslim environment, fiercely preserve their ethnic identity and purity, as intermarriage with other groups is unthinkable. Each community is governed by an elected leader, priests, and 12 advisors. Their priests are hereditary. Temples dedicated to the family goddess are found in each village and are the only places of worship open to women, while men make sacrifices to male deities outside the village, typically at high altitudes. The Kalash have lighter skin, often light hair, and some have green or blue eyes. They are of average to tall stature, upright, and agile. Kalash Valleys, are situated = in the mountains of Pakistan, just a few kilometers from Taliban-controlled areas. Kalash is a small ethnic group, believed to trace its origins back to Alexander the Great, lives here in relative isolation. For centuries, invaders forced them into remote areas, where they fiercely resisted the Arab conquerors and their religion. The Durand Line at the end of the 19th century, which separated Afghanistan from India, the Kalash managed to survive in the three valleys Birir, Bumburet, and Rumbur of the eastern Hindu Kushrange, now part of Pakistan. These valleys lie near the Afghanistan border and are surrounded by towering peaks. With a population of approximately 3,000 the Kalash continue to practice an ancient religion, the origins of which remain unclear. Legend has it that the Greek god Dionysus founded a settlement in the region known for its festivals and orgies. During Alexander the Great's expedition to the East, many of his soldiers deserted, and settled in the Kalash Valleys. Kalash culture still carries remnants of Greek influence, with traditions centered around ecstasy, love and poetry. (Maro Kouri / Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) -

Legend has it that the Greek god Dionysus founded a settlement in the region, known for its festivals and orgies. During Alexander the Great's expedition, many of his soldiers deserted, captivated by the fragrance of grapes in the area. Today, Kalash culture still carries remnants of Greek influence, with traditions centered around ecstasy, love, and poetry. Despite their rich heritage, the community faces challenges, including limited resources, malnutrition, and respiratory diseases among children. There is a growing need for improved sanitation, farming assistance, and protection from deforestation. (Maro Kouri / Polaris) ( -

For centuries, invaders forced them into remote areas, where they fiercely resisted the Arab conquerors and their religion. The Durand Line at the end of the 19th century, which separated Afghanistan from India, the Kalash managed to survive in the three valleys Birir, Bumburet, and Rumbur of the eastern Hindu Kushrange, now part of Pakistan. These valleys lie near the Afghanistan border and are surrounded by towering peaks. With a population of approximately 3,000 the Kalash continue to practice an ancient religion, the origins of which remain unclear. Legend has it that the Greek god Dionysus founded a settlement in the region known for its festivals and orgies. During Alexander the Great's expedition to the East, many of his soldiers deserted, and settled in the Kalash Valleys. Kalash culture still carries remnants of Greek influence, with traditions centered around ecstasy, love and poetry. (Maro Kouri / Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) -

Kalash, ancient tribe of Pakistan in Taliban region
May 16, 2024- Kallas Valleys, Pakistan: The Kalash teacher at the elementary school sells handmade items and braided braids made by the children to support the poor ones and their families. The Kalash, living in a predominantly Muslim environment, fiercely preserve their ethnic identity and purity, as intermarriage with other groups is unthinkable. Each community is governed by an elected leader, priests, and 12 advisors. Their priests are hereditary. Temples dedicated to the family goddess are found in each village and are the only places of worship open to women, while men make sacrifices to male deities outside the village, typically at high altitudes. The Kalash have lighter skin, often light hair, and some have green or blue eyes. They are of average to tall stature, upright, and agile.

Timeless world of Ethiopia's Omo valley tribes
February 27, 2023- Omo River's valley, southwestern Ethiopia: A little girl carries a bag on her head with perfect balance, containing essential food: a small amount of grain and a large bottle of milk. The Dessenech tribe is a Nilotic ethnic group living near the border between Ethiopia and Kenya. They are known for their unique way of life, deeply connected to the river and their environment. Like many Nilotic groups, they follow a strong animistic belief system, seeing a sacred connection between the natural world and the spiritual realm, particularly with their cattle, land, and surroundings. The Dessenech live in a way that avoids calculations—free from counting ages, numbers, animals, deaths, or even the cycles of rain and drought. They embrace a life focused on the present moment, feeling unburdened and alive. Traditionally, they practice pastoralism, herding cattle, goats, and sheep. They also engage in handicraft, agriculture, growing crops such as millet and sorghum, although their environment can make farming challenging. Fishing is another significant activity due to their proximity to the Omo River and Lake Turkana. As it is one of the poorest tribes, some of the young generations are used to get supported by Australians, Europeans or US citizens in a way that they still live and grow up in their homelands but they have the financial support to study in the nearest cities. Then, some of them prefer to return back home in their tribe's village to help their families and to work as a guide to visitors. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
