From "The Huffington Post":
"London based photographer Iain McKell offers an extraordinary glimpse into the lives of a real and raw group of present-day nomads whose culture is built around ideals of freedom, nature, and simplicity. The New Gypsies are British horse drawn travelers. The movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside.
Iain McKell spent the last 10 years documenting and living with travelers of all ages: parents, children, couples and loners."
You gotta' admit, these girls are beautiful and live free. The term Gypsy appears to have lost it's racial stigma, as anyone from any culture is free to join this lifestyle.
I predict we will be seeing a lot of this in America's not-so-distant future.
As large urban areas become more dysfunctional people will begin fleeing back to the prairies and farmland of middle-America. For years those rural farms and towns have lost population as youth moved to urban cities with the promise of jobs and adventure.
Soon, things will become to dangerous and expensive in the city, and a new "back to the land" movement will begin.
