I will end for now the posts with street photos from my Indian travel, but this is not goodbye, there are more photos to show, some illustrating the family life, some illustrating the wedding I attended. And there may be also a surprise 🙂 Let me wave my hand “see you soon!”

It was a holiday that day, they were celebrating the goddess of learning, so we went to the school to observe the ceremonies. The village girls were wearing their nicest clothes, to impress the boys, of course, and going to the girl’s school:

Main street

Most of the time spent in India I was in the village of Ukhra, which is, I was told, a large village with about 30000 people (wow! how is that not a city?) which had the marketplace by the sides of the main street. A very busy street, impossible to stay half a minute and get the chance for a proper picture, had to be fast!

Beggar monkey

This beggar from Kolkata was not content with 5 rupies, so I took one single snap and that was all. The reality is, I had no change on me, even those rupies were borrowed from a friend (not a wise idea to be in India having only 100USD bills in your wallet).

Crossing the Gange

Gange is the biggest river in India and it passes trough the city of Kolkata, so if you go to Kolkata, you very likely will have to cross the river. How? On the bridge or on the boat. Photography is forbidden on their bridges, so I have pictures only from the boat (yes, you can shoot the bridge from the boat). Included here: departure, sailing and landing.

This bus, seen in Kolkata, made me remember the buses in my country from 80ies , they were close, especially in rural regions, but not that bad

On the Indian roads I saw many people cycling: some on bicycles, some on tricycles. Some carrying themselves, some carrying goods, some carrying passengers. Some in the village, some in the city, some on the highway. One thing in common: they had pedals 🙂

After the fishmongers series, let’s return to the food industry, this time on a lighter note: fruits sellers, from the streets of both the village of Ukhra and the city of Kolkata.

Like a boss

Whoever coined the “like a boss” expression must have travelled to India and meed those people, with their air of superiority: they really do feel like bossed and don’t care about anything around.

Walking on the streets of Kolkata I saw this camera store. Had to take a pic and share with the world. Now I think I may go to F64 and search some stuff.

On the side of the highway, the food sellers take advantage of the departing bus and having no customers for a while they can rest and play some cards game.

That day it was a holiday and the tradition it was to eat fish (on top of that, fish is a Bengali speciality), so the streets of the Ukhra village were full with fish vendors. They were happy so see me, a white man, something unusual there and very eager to get photographed.
