Mumbai Weekend Shoot (MWS)

Cómo se colaba la mar
entre tanto farallón,
que pretendiendo escalarlo
no lograba alcanzar
y en su brava espuma mostraba
su enojo ante tanta oposición.
Sin embargo, bien se abrÃa
camino hacia la playa
y entre tanta roca baja,
leve obstáculo a su presión.
Con los dioses no se juega,
advierte el dios Neptuno,
elevando su tridente,
como mera observación.
A myriad of different boats are a daily sight in the harbor of Mumbai. Then one night in November 2008, 10 men came ashore in inflatable speed boats. Fishermen noticed them and questioned who they were, but police did not pursue an investigation. Mumbai was quickly under siege by the terrorists trained in Pakistan. 174 people were killed in the military-style operation that paralyzed Mumbai and gripped the world for days with non stop televised updates.
And like a war journalist, the brave me stood up and pointed his camera. The Gods have been kind and I escaped unhurt :-)

After spending a decade in the 'maximum city' of India, I decided to be a tourist undertaking a guided tour down its heritage. So hopped on a 90 min open roof bus ride. This lane, the guide informed, has been passed of as 'London' in quite a few Bollywood movies ... genius !

-¿Qué haces aquÃ, Agripina?
-Entré a rezar, nos dijo.
-¿Para qué? –le pregunté yo.
Y ella se alzó de hombros.
Allà no habÃa a quien rezarle. Era un jacalón vacÃo, sin puertas, nada más con unos socavones abiertos y un techo resquebrajado por donde se colaba el aire como por un cedazo.

Qu’est-ce que tu fais là , Agrippine ?
-Je suis entrée ici pour prier un peu, nous dit-elle.
-Pourquoi ? Lui demandé-je.
Elle hausse les épaules.
Il n’y avait là rien pour prier. C’était juste un baraquement vide, sans porte, rien que des trous ouverts et un toit fissuré de partout par lequel l’air passait comme à travers d'un tamis.
Juan Rulfo (Mex. 1918-1986), Luvina.

Foto: Villanueva de las Rozas. Catedral de los Peces. Al construirse (entre 1921 y 1946, inauguración en 1952) el embalse del Ebro, varios pueblos quedaron sepultados, entre los cuales Las Rozas de Valdearroyo. En la actualidad, la torre campanario de la iglesia de Villanueva de las Rozas emerge del pantano cuando las aguas son bajas creando un espectral paisaje. Se habÃa construido una pasarela de acceso a la torre que constituÃa un precioso mirador sobre el lago. Hoy todo está en ruinas. La torre sigue testimoniando.

Photo : Dans la Cantabrie, au nord de l’Espagne, lors de la construction du barrage de l’Ebre (entre 1921 et 1946, inauguré en 1952), plusieurs villages ont été engloutis. La tour du clocher de l’église de Villanueva de las Rozas émerge encore au-dessus des eaux créant un paysage assez fantasmatique surtout au coucher et au lever du soleil. Ironiquement on donne a cette tour-clocher le nom de Cathédrale des poissons.
A lively barber shop in Colaba, Mumbai.

The iconic 'Gateway of India', Mumbai gets a burst of pigeons while the sun rays struggle to burst out of the monsoon clouds.
Its a music to my eyes :)

Two Indian Men at a Bicycle repair store in the Colaba District of Mumbai. Taken with the Canon 5D4 and the 50mm 1.4 lens, converted to black and white in Lightroom.
Mumbai o Bombay es una gran ciudad con más de 20 millones de habitantes, pero aún conserva barrios y modos de vida que chocan con los edificios modernos que se erigen en el entorno. Uno de esos barrios es el slum de Colaba, un barrio de viviendas humildes, poco más que chabolas, a relativamente poca distancia del puerto pesquero y del lujoso hotel Taj Mahal.
El slum de Colaba contiene una de las lavanderÃas públicas de la ciudad, un espacio abierto lleno de hileras de pilas de piedra donde slos trabajadores, todos hombres, lavan a mano la ropa de hoteles y restaurantes de la ciudad. Allà mismo se cuelga la ropa al sol, ofreciendo un espectáculo único.

Taken in the area near the waterside at Colaba, Mumbai. Amazingly this settlement is just a few hundred metres from the "Taj" Hotel - probably the most prestigious hotel in India.
to those who asked;
This is a hindu temple
it was a spiritual holy time, prayer or something like this.
every person who passed by had to do this move like
paying respects.
*hindu is a popular religion in India
there are temples [معابد] everywhere.

Dancing bears, Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December...

The Church of St. John the Evangelist, better known as the Afghan Church is an Anglican Church in Mumbai, India, built by the British to commemorate the dead of the First Afghan War and the disastrous 1842 retreat from Kabul. Memorials and laid up regimental colours displayed at the rear of the nave also record casualties from the Second Anglo-Afghan War.
The church is located in Navy Nagar in the Colaba area of South Mumbai.
