Diane, That picture was taken in a village in Northern Thailand, near the Lao, Burma border, more famously known as the golden triangle. These girls (almost all of them in the picture were in their teens) are members of the Pa Dong Karen tribe, that live along the Thai and Burmese border. The practice is dying out, but women of the tribe wear ornamental brass rings. The rings don't lengthen the neck, but rather push the collarbone and ribcage down. The effect is a giraffe like appearance. At first I was just going to take a picture of my family in front of the huts, when one of the girls came out and asked if she could be in the picture. The next thing we knew, all of her friends joined in. It was a memorable day to say the least.
