Photographer’s Note
Well, One snap from rural India. This is shot near the village Lodhar, behind IIT Knapur. Though it is in Kanpur Nagar [Nagar=city] district, it is really a village and people are mainly dependent on farming and raising livestock here.
In north Indian plains people use horses as stand alone carrier or Tonga [horse hauled cart] apart from the more conventional bullock carts.
This is a pretty rare sight here. When I spotted this I was a few metres apart from behind. I was on cycle and overhauled the pair but they outwitted me by raising speed unexpectedly when I brandished my camera. So I had to over haul them once more and prepared to shoot a little early. They tried the same trick then also, but I was able to get my shot.
