Another five Kilometres hike to a secluded beach this morning. I saw this fellow happily lying down on this spot enjoying the morning sun and looking out at the beach. Only two of this beauty was spotted in this beach. They appeared to be strays.

the happy December warm days

Shot in the North of India back in 2009, finally digitalised in 2015.

I used a Nikon FE2 with (sometimes defective - sorry ) Fuji 200. For most of the photographs, the lens was the Zenitar 16mm.

This particular photo was shot at Rishikesh, using a 90mm lens.

Stepwells in Rajasthan, India, boast a rich history dating back over a thousand years. Initially built to harvest rainwater and provide access to groundwater, they evolved into architectural marvels and communal spaces. Constructed by digging into the earth, these structures were adorned with intricate carvings, serving as both utilitarian and aesthetic symbols. Stepwells facilitated water storage in arid regions, crucial for agriculture, drinking, and rituals. They also served as meeting points, offering respite from the scorching desert heat. Over time, stepwells declined with modernization, but their cultural significance endures, inspiring art, literature, and conservation efforts. Today, they stand as poignant reminders of India's ingenuity in water management and architectural prowess.
