People of India

The turbans were all unique.

On her way to prayers.

A local musicians trying to drum up business.

Finished her prayers

Loved her haughty expression. 
Guarding the Taj Mahal
Sketching the Taj from a different angle

Praying at the Taj

Bollywood!

A place to come together

Everyone loves to pose at the site
Two young boys that approached us so we took their photo



Representing UBC - Go Canada

I loved these old people  - so sweet.
This sweater vest was a mystery to us but it was everywhere in India.

A mixture of young and old

Such colourful people and stories in India

A beautiful young lady wanted to take our photo so we took hers.

Young and old drive the rickshaws to make rupees.

Indian women often cover their faces - not sure why.

A break from hustling the tourists.

A craftsman making finely detailed tile mosaics with glass pieces.

Lost in prayer.
Elephants at Fort Amber - didn't like the way they were treated.

Bathing in the street.


Millions of people live in poverty and filth on the streets.

  4. Thank you Lynette - I already am, but in a non-monitary way. I am doing what I was meant to go - learn, write, observe and enjoy life. I am not sure how I won this lottery but I am not going to question it.
