Guarding nothing

-----------------

During one of the 'touristy' trips in Delhi, I met up with some fellow photographers and we went to Tughlaqabad Fort among a number of other places. In retrospect, going there around noon probably wasn't one of my brightest ideas. Delhi can be cruelly hot during summer and inconceivably bad during that time of the day. This one poor man was left there by himself to guard the vast 6.5sqkm area since it wasn't a tourist season and not many people were expected. Torture can take many forms for those without options.

 

As for the shot, the light was abhorrently flat. I tried to make a nice HDR out of this particular image with multiple EVs, but its a disaster.
