WHS – The Taj!

tajmahal

I was so excited to see the Taj Mahal. For one thing, it’s a sight that you hear about your whole life, and for another if the day is too cloudy or overcast, your chances of seeing it go way down. Luckily we were able to see it. I couldn’t believe the crowds, and [...]

Photo Art – Fishermen at Sunset

This photo was taken at sunset in Cochin, India. I love the huge fishing nets. The only thing I did to enhance the photo is put a yellow filter over it. What do you think?

Art – Bicycle and Doors

In India, everywhere you look is a piece of art.  I just love it.  I doubt that the owner of the bicycle picked this spot so travelers like me would have something beautiful to photograph.

Things That Make Me Happy! – Holy Cow! Happy New Year!

This is one of my favorite photos of all time.  It may not be the best, technically…but it brings with it good feelings and a good memory.  Really, that’s what photography is all about.  Cows are synonymous with India.  They are everywhere: in the streets, in the pastures, in the villages, even in [...]

Tea is another one of those things I love.  Just like salt, if there are tea fields, a tea shop, or other tea stuff…I try to find it.  This lady diligently worked and worked picking the tender green shoots as I shot her in Kerala, India.

World Heritage Site – Humayun’s Tomb

As with many an important site, there was a school group visiting Humayun’s tomb at the same time that we were.  I love their bright maroon school uniforms!  It brings such a great splash of color to the photo.

Fried Bananas

Getting a little peckish on our way into a Keralan town, we passed many of these mouth-wateringly fresh chips.  We couldn’t help but by some, and boy were we more than a little surprised that they were not potatoes….but bananas.  I have to say, more savory than sweet, they were absolutely scrumptious.  Try [...]

Hay Boy!

One of the best things about individual travel, especially with a car, is that when I come across scenes such as this I can stop.  While we were in India the first time, we hired a car and a driver.  Babu took care of us in many ways, but one of them is [...]
