Kesi Ghat








The December fog hung real low this morning. I had seen this place a few days back, and it was beautiful in the bright afternoon sun. It was even more spectacular in the early morning fog.

Rickshaw around Vrindaban








The first few days in Vrindaban i just took a rickshaw (bike with a seat in the back) around the city and shoot from the safety of my ride. It's pretty intense here, and i haven't really had the courage to go out in the main part of town with my cameras and such - white boy with fancy camera might lead to some interactions that i am not ready for - yet. Here are some shots from the safety of the rickshaw.

Delhi to Vrindaban














I arrived in Delhi on the evening of December 2nd, the next morning i had a car drive me 3 hours outside the city to the small town of Vrindaban. This series of photos are from that car ride. Everytime i put down my camera on the ride i immediately had to pick it up again because i saw something completely new. Anyway, my main realization on this trip was that anything with legs and/or wheels was on the highway; all moving at different speeds and all packed with some sort of cargo, human or otherwise.
