First day in Delhi

I guess I am going to try and choose a few photos, among those that are more meaningful for me as a way of remembering this great trip.
That first day in Delhi was mostly dedicated to visiting places like the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi's memorial

Outside the Mosque, we left our shoes next to these that didn’t belong to our group

Mostly, I felt that I was looking at everything from a distance, at zoom length, or through the window of our coach. I was not sure what I could or could not photograph, yet

Here women were praying at Jama Masjid Mosque

But already, I was impressed by the different shapes and colours that caught our eyes

One wears a punjabi suit, the other a sari
a mixture of colour, tradition and modernity

  1. what are the orange fruits there at Gandhi’s memorial?
    the second photo will not load for me…
    love the colors and contrasts – those fabrics are wonderful!

  2. It looks as though everywhere you turn your lens to you are a washed with colour. What stunning photos. Love the fabric of the two women in the last photo and how they bodies and that of the little girl show both good posture and a natural swirling motion.

  3. ah, now I am seeing the shoes!
    Lilalia, that’s it – the wonderful posture! No slumping. Also it hit me last night – these women are not carrying PURSES, or anything resembling them. YES!
