And SJCT, I, too, am leary of the usual tourist type photos, so I really didn't know if I should include the snake charmer, but I couldn't resist.The Book of Drachmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402293433544594442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755181960932959931.post-31976646228399341602011-07-21T16:48:53.667-07:002011-07-21T16:48:53.667-07:00Funny, my wife and I were just talking about the t...Funny, my wife and I were just talking about the tacky tourist photos that a person usually sees. Such as, a picture of a "gladiator" outside the Coliseum in Rome, complete with plastic helmet and shield. <br /><br />No thanks! I prefer the shots like the ones above that reflect everyday life.SJCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593622630542448989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755181960932959931.post-2999914450896024682011-07-21T06:03:23.666-07:002011-07-21T06:03:23.666-07:00Actually I prefer the snapshots showing life as is...Actually I prefer the snapshots showing life as is to eloborate artistic and consequently somewhat artificial photos. The snake charmer is a killer, and I particularly like the last one -- it has a very painterly feel.Stellahttp://lightcolourshade.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755181960932959931.post-46993684615348950022011-07-21T04:21:42.174-07:002011-07-21T04:21:42.174-07:00I think this is the best part of a trip, to see ho...I think this is the best part of a trip, to see how people live. I grow a bit tired of famous clichés, the beauty of India is there in the busy streets of the 1st shot, the daily life of the last one street, the peace of the water from the fountain and the serenity in the birds flying. Every time it's like travelling and feeling the atmosphere of the places you've been. <br />Thanks Drachma for offering us this experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
