colours, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

india is full of colours. this boats full of colourful dressed pilgrims caught my eye in varanasi. imagine the same scene in the western world, i guess i would be much more grey, black and dark blue. you'll never find such a variety of colours here.

Hello Julia,

What a spectacular shot, busy, but full of vibrant colors. I was very briefly in New Delhi, Agra and Chandigarh last July. My friend, and Indian from university days in the United States had warned me, "Only mad dogs and Englishmen visit in July, and I know you are not English." I did not heed his advice and paid for it with a sunstroke while visiting the Taj Mahal. But I fell in love with the country, with the rich variety of cultures, and a certain dignity. Thanks for sharing this photo. You were fortunate to be there in January and not July.

Warm regards from Virginia,

Bulent

Hi Julia
I think this is my first time visiting your gallery :)
Welcome to TE!

you do something that i rarely do - which is to photograph people! I commend you on that!
In this scene, there is only 1 person looking straight up at you....can you find that person :)

the color splash is lively, it all comes to life for the viewer. excellent shot.
cheers
