India is vibrant and colorful - but some of the things I liked best were the quietest and most peaceful.
A donkey cart very early in the morning beside the road between Agra and Delhi.
A large puppy who wanted to be my pal at a lunch stop on the way to Bikaner. He had a very cheerful character. I think he would be very bored in New York.
The sheep and the goats.
Late afternoon in Mandawa. A young woman is driving the cows home.
Evening sky. Mandawa.
I love the dream like quality of the first photo. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteooooh More good stuff! I loved the first photo. Send that to Nat Geographic and ask for a lot of money for it, lol. Love the doggie too. So great to be seeing what you saw, though I so loved reading when you couldn't post pix as well.
ReplyDeletethese are lovely. have I told you you have a great eye for all things interesting?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - I have enjoyed so much all your photos from the other side of the world.
ReplyDeleteThis are delightful pics, Elizabeth! Did you know Theme Thursday is "animal" today? Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat first photograph is surely worthy of a frame - absolutely beautiful; it has a wonderful painterly quality to it.
ReplyDeleteThat donkey cart photo is a winner ...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, each and every one of them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your trip. I agree with the others that the donkey cart is the winner, but I also like the lady in the bright sari driving home the cows.
ReplyDeleteThat donkey cart picture is so wonderful, E. I would like that bit of blue sky and cloud to paste to my computer monitor!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see quiet, rural India. My friend went to Calcutta recently and hated the noise and the pollution - your photographs show a different side completely. I shall show them to her.
ReplyDeleteSydney led me to your blog, and I'm glad she did! You have captured the essence of India, which is mostly still rural. I love this side of India too, and wish it wouldn't be under attack from indiscriminate "development"!
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is scuptural- so stand still perfect! That little dog wants to go to New York, surely you can see how hard he is trying...Lovely little pooch!
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful pictures and wise words from you, Elizabeth. And I want to know ... did you get decorated with those amazing colors? I have seen lots of pictures of that festival and just found the images amazing.
ReplyDeleteKeep the pictures coming! xo
The misty almost-monochrome, of the first picture is wonderfully evocative.
ReplyDeleteThat donkey and cart photo is just fantastic! Perhaps a Donkey and Cart from India to keep the Donkey and Cart from Marrakesh company? Yes, Robert? ;)
ReplyDeleteFrom all your wonderful pictures, I love the first one of this post BEST! Sensational! What an atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteI've been catching up and enjoying your travel photos. I kept forgetting to take pictures on my recent trip...
