THANK'S FOR THE VISIT...REALLY APPRECIATE...

more to see..... ~namasayaadalah

Sadly, it's not my sharpest couple of photos ever. It's not very good at larger sizes than you've got it, that's why I've not offered prints.

And I can't go back for another try, partly because it's not an area I go to any longer anyway, but mostly because it's not like that now, it's under a huge reservoir.

But there are other places with the same ambience, and I hope to get better photos of them next time I'm in India - I can afford to take a lot more shots, and it's much easier to get good results with the new camera anyway.

I love places like that, too. As you say, lonely in a peaceful, happy way.

The other side of the river really was very lonely - many miles to the nearest village. On the side I was on, there was just one village, but that quite close by - the one with the eye camp.

All under water now, though.

Thanks for the nice comment and the

It's really a beautiful shot though, Clive.

Thank you.

I didn't create the place, though. All I did was look at it, appreciate it, point the camera at it, and press the button. Well, apart from some fairly simple adjustments of the kind one used to have to do on that kind of camera!

its a beautiful photograph. i look at this and i hear soft strains of the sitar in the background.

Life is just waiting around for the next disaster. The only consolation is, one of these times it'll be fatal.

That's what you'd hear if it was a scene in a Bollywood movie, but the only noises I could hear were birds and a very slight swishing of water.

I didn't hear a sitar even in the nearby village. I did hear bansoori (bamboo instrument - either like a bamboo version of a penny whistle, or like South American panpipes; both common in that part of India, and I can't distinguish them from the sound alone, and didn't see the instrument). Whether there were any sitars in the village, I rather doubt - they're really quite up market instruments.

One thing that village did have, that was rather notable, was a very fine silversmith - see [link] (the amethyst in the middle was about eight millimetres across).

hahaha i'm afraid i have a rather romaniticized vision of India.
