Varanasi - early morning on the Ganges...

2009.04.30

The sun rising over the deserted flood plain on the other bank...

The early morning bathers beginning to arrive...


Bathing, washing, worshiping, laundry, cows and chaos... just about sums up the city...

The burning ghats already beginning to flame...

One of the strangest places I have ever visited...

dontblink Looks like a fascinating place. I especially like the pictures of the people on the steps by the water. Well done.

smbunation Yeah, great set indeed. I really dig the architecture. [We don't see anything like that here in 'floor-i-duh'. =)

redro Hallucinatory effect in these marvelous pictures.
I can see the water moving and I hear the voices in the distance.
The #2 is so strange...so dark for such a bright sun .
A highly emotionally charged set. I like it a lot.

Widcat I like the third picture with the people using the stairs as their entry place to the water.
