India- the people
After a LONG hiatus from the blog, I finally have the opportunity to post some pics from my recent trip to India in March 2013. This was my first trip back in almost 30 years and it was overwhelming to say the least. There is so much for your senses to take in that you truly need time to sit back and reflect on what it means to you and how you interpret everything going on around you. Here are a few shots from New Delhi, Punjab and various cities/villages in Rajasthan. While I did see so many beautiful places and historical sites, for me, I am always fascinated by the people. Anyway, enough talking, just see for yourself and please feel free to share your comments/thoughts/feedback. Enjoy!
