Lily of the valley
Danger of death! Florence.
Gyantse. Tibet. Gyantse.
The princess Pema Chöki Namgyal
Wandering musician
Tuff quarry
Laundry day
Smile in the sea
Two arches
Greetings to the guest
Children are running on Lake Kutcharo
The struggle against nothing
Thirst for knowledge
Ready to go down
Mother Shining Knowledge
Down, definitely down
I rest between one dive and the other.
Gigantic crevasse
The Dukadak step
Ice cave
A very tough climb
Little coffee-colored girl
Rubble at the entrance of the Old City
The face of the bodhisattva devoured by the forest
Sky with little sheep
The genius of the clouds
Clouds of fire

Maraini writes in "The Island of the Fisherwomen" (1960, p. 79) that "when they go beyond the surface of the sea, holding onto the boat's gunwale for rest, the Ama make a characteristic whistle (amabui). Each dive can last even more than a minute. After about twenty dives (about an hour of work), the Ama come back on board and rest for about half an hour".
