While we are all spending time
upgrading and preparing our camper vans for the next trip, there are
some who have decided to abandon their motorised homes on wheels for
a much more old fashioned or you might say 'traditional' way of
living on the road.
A while ago I posted about new age travellers in the 90's and shared a video of an old 'World in Action'
documentary about their lifestyle, and the conflicts taking place between
travellers, local residents, and the police in England at that time.
Well, photographer Iain McKell has been
putting together a project on a group of new age travellers, who have
made the choice of 'returning' to the horse drawn gypsy caravan as
their dwelling place. This smaller group are somehow managing to live
in todays world in this old and simple way. Take a look at the photos
– I'm sure you'll agree that Iain has captured some of the magic and
beauty of that simple way of living.
