Description
 The sun had already risen for a couple of hours in the mild air of Spring in the little pilgrim city of Pushkar in the heart of Rajasthan. As I was ambling through a narrow street overlooking the sacred waters of the pond which, according to Hindu mythology, was created by the tears of Lord Shiva mourning his wife Satti, a group of women -most probably pilgrims- suddenly turned up and passed me by, leaving me no time to capture them in my Nikon. There was only one thing left for me to do, turn around as fast as possible and set once and for all in my camera that vision of colourful and veiled silhouettes moving on slowly in the morning light ...
 This shot is also a reminder for me that India (and Nepal) are countries where the people, both men and women, enjoy wearing colorful garments. On arriving in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport after only two weeks in India, it felt -at least for the first hours- like being an actor in a black and white movie !...
 Thank you very much for your comments on my last Indian pic. Please make the most of the original size of the photo by zooming in, and have a nice day!
