Indian Streets

Indian streets are wonderful - full of colour, dirt, cow poo, rubbish, people everywhere, stalls selling everything. It is a nightmare to walk the streets - you need to walk looking at the ground so you do not step in poo or fall down a hole or walk on a body sleeping in the street. But it is a joy and a wonderful experience.

Below are a few shots of Indian streets.
Hope you enjoy them.

A side street or rather a lane to houses of the locals

Sellers of pots

Flowers for the temples

Flowers for the temple (lotus buds in the middle)

Rubbish at the end of our street where we stayed in Delhi - this is a collection and sorting point for a few streets

Sellers in the middle pavement selling everything - they take up any spare available and set up daily

This is the first view from our window on the first day in Delhi - they leave scooters, cars, bikes wherever they breakdown and the dust just builds up and up - we saw loads of sights like this!!

INDIA
You can see where Indian embroiderers get their designs
These photos were taken on my several trips to India
I need to do some sketching from them - the colours and decoration  are wonderful 
I think I have a lifetime of inspiration but not enough hours in the day - wish I did not have to sleep!!

Colours of India - People

When I travel to India (4 times) I am always blown away with the vibrant, bold and intense colours - in their everyday clothing, food stalls, garlands, temples and the list could goes on and on............

India is a place you love or hate as a visitor and I LOVE it - I feel "I have come home" when I travel in India - maybe I lived there once in another time???

I love its diversity - it is a land on contrasts!!!!!! But it is not for everybody!

Below are some everyday pictures of people in India.
