About a year ago someone posted a old front of a doorway here that lead me to go to Havana

Havana lead me to go to India & Nepal, I just got back. This forum (not a person) has inspired me to enjoy experiences I never would have imagined

While I'm just passing through I thought some might enjoy some of my shots
1 Religious festival on the Ganges

    Hey Rags, Gotta say that first shot is a killer. The others are nice, but not as powerful.

    Wow! great set. #1 and #4 are fantastic. The man is a very nice picture, mostly due to the uniqueness of the man, but a different angle would have bee better. I realize you probably didn't have much choice. Id love to go to India one day. Keep the pics coming!

    Nice set. #4 definitely gets the "something tells me we're not in Kansas anymore" award. mwink.gif I'd be tempted to crop it a bit from the bottom and left to make the people more prominent and the steps less so.

    You were at Mela!! A friend was there as well. Great shots. Wish I'd been able to go back for it.

    #1 gives me the feeling of a movie set for an epic film and captures that press of people and traffic I felt in India.

    #3 is terrific. I love the colour, the face.

    Thanks for sharing these and keep them coming.
