Perfection. Great work there!
Thanks!
This is lovely
Me too, I like this shot very much. The architecture is amazing.
Old architecture!
I love the lines of the buildings and the texture of the water. Beautiful!
Wow Rajiv .. That is amazing!
Thanks vey much!
You know what is fascinating to me is that there are steps going down into the water! I’ve never seen anything like this! I noticed the tag says bathing ghats! I’m still trying to figure that out! Very interesting!
It is very traditional to have steps going down into the water. The word ‘ghat’ means a body of steps leading down to water for bathing. Or, for launders. So, if you ever see a ghat called “Dhobi Ghat’, it refers to the ghat where old launderers would wash clothes. In famous religious towns, ghats have names
I love that. I had no idea what it was and it’s fascinating to me. Is it true that a lot of people have many servants?
We can’t live without them! Most people are shocked that I don’t have a driver anymore
I have a friend that told me that he had 3 or 4 and he was shocked that I did all my own laundry and housework and mowed grass. You know I would so love someone to do that for me. Driver what would that be like. Gosh I could get a lot of work done then. LOL
Oh yeah. In India – well, we have 1.20 billion people. People are not valued that much
Yet, it takes time to manage the maids and drivers!
Stunning pictures. Beautiful !!
Thanks very much!
