A child observes the world with his eyes wide open, because he realizes there is so much unknown, interesting, and exciting around, and it will take the whole lifetime to discover it all! The most common look and the expression on the face of a child is that of surprise – the feeling most unlikely to be seen in the eyes of an elderly person. What exactly can one read there? The answer to this question is in the images represented at our showcase dedicated to the age of wisdom, to the senior people.

They may be of different races and nationalities, but there is so much in common written on their faces! The very first thing, usually associated with elderly people, is wisdom acquired during their lifetime. Indeed, they have been through so much, they have experienced the storms and hurricanes of life; and all the grief and sorrow misfortune caused are now shown with the deep wrinkles. They have also known the lucky and favorable fate, which smiled at them from time to time, and the vague reflection of that genuine smile now shines from the eyes of seniors as well… Some of them look sad, as if saying, “You don’t really wanna know what I’ve seen in my life!” But the eyes of some others convince, “There are lots and lots of moments of pleasure in the life of every person to think about and recollect when one is old, but he has to live his whole life in order to learn to appreciate them all!”
