For the past two years Russian photojournalist Vladimir Yakovlev
travelled around the world, searching for people who have discovered new
found hobbies and pleasure in their older age.
With the series The Age
Of Happiness, Yakovlev hopes to change the usual perception of life
after retirement and promote positive ageing.
On his travels he met some
extraordinary characters over 60-year-old - some very close to the 100
milestone - who enjoy each day and inspire others to make their lives
equally fulfilling.

At 92, John Lowe's favourite thing
to do is perform ballet. What makes his story even more inspiring is
that he only started when he was 80-years-old.
John says that he dreamed about dancing his entire life. To stay in
shape, he rehearses at the theatre three times a week and practices
alone at home every day. Sometimes, to get his mind off of his ballet
training, he roller blades.
