The golden hour for some Photo

Photographer’s Note

The festival of Eid - Ul- Adha is known by several names. The festival is celebrated to recall the readiness of prophet Ibrahim's to surrender Ishmael, his son for god and so it known as the “festival of sacrifice”. Muslims butcher domestic animals, mainly the sheep and goats on this festival and this sacrifice made by Muslims is known as “Qurban”. The meat of sacrificed animal is distributed among the neighbors, near and dear ones and all the deprived people.

These goats on the street of Old Delhi are either on their way to or from the market or the the butcher.

Hello Elaine
You were in India last month? This is well composed indeed with the sharp shadows on the wall & the door. With light quite strong the contrasts are brilliant. I can't help but notice the ISI mark on the wall ;-)
Well done Elaine
Regards
Angshu
