-----------------
So I'm in a bit of a bad mood. Please lend me a ear for a bit of complaining...Yes I'm still in Patna, the capital of the Bihar, one of the states of India. Granted I'm in a half decent hotel, but I'm not spending most of my time in it! Since I'm here for fieldwork for a thesis, I've been spending 12-14hours a day in the hot Bihari sun in a remote village (the temp today was around 35'C I believe). And this is still early spring!
On the journey to the village every morning, which takes about 2 hrs each way, we cross a 8.5km bridge, one of the lanes of which have caved in. But we're development workers, we don't let a little potentially life threatening commute ever deter us! While all this was tough enough, I must've cought a bug or something, and now I'm up till 4:30am with fever and nothing else to do. Hmm..reruns of 24?
Anyways, thought a little humor is in order. This was taken in Nehru Place, a hustling bustling open market of bootlegged and genuine electronic goods. I've been thoroughly warned about not buying anything from here. In the middle of the square, I saw this gentleman come and set up shop and was instantly surrounded by a crowd of interested onlookers. Now, my Hindi's questionable at best, but from the few words I caught topped up by his gestures, the gist of the presentation was that he had found this mysterious material from the foothills of the Himalayas that essentially, after drinking it, would make stallions come to you (the gentlemen) for advice in the matters of the boudoir ;)
LOL a lot of friends are asking if I got the fever after drinking it, lol, I did not in fact take it :P

view from the winding road over the little lake. sun is low but clouds hide the direct light.
Camera club had a magician in this week. He needed images for his portfolio and we got the chance to shoot something different.
I have had a play around in PS with this (he's not that good....haha) The picture in the frame is one of mine and the background is downloaded from Pexels. I taught myself a few things about PS with this little exercise too.
Not the finest composite you'll ever see but I'm proud of it :)

Everything around her was loud ...loud music, screaming, laughing but she was quiet and stared at the lights as if spellbound. Somehow she also seemed lost in her own world. That touched me.
For me that is the Magic of Christmas ...when someone is so fascinated that they forget everything around them.... ❤️
Here is my photograph for the Magic themed homework. If I was a witch this is how I would drink my tea.
Many thanks for a fantastic week on Explore! Another image from a lovely sunset last week given a little Slider magic for Slider's Sunday.. HSS!
Sencillo y bello, en 2011 es declarado como pueblo mágico, con una historia que se remonta hasta el primer siglo de nuestra época, dado el descubrimiento de las tumbas de tiro en el cerro del Teúl, zona arqueológica que todavía hoy se sigue trabajando y descubriendo nuevos datos que alimentan la historia de este pueblo con tierras cubiertas de agave.

I often do a lot of research to find beautiful locations to photograph. Sometimes, after a lot of effort, I arrive at a location and it doesn't live up to expectations. Other times, I turn up and it absolutely blows me away. Can you guess which category this location falls into?
Tombstone Territorial park in the Yukon was absolutely stunning. This location utterly floored me. Beautiful hints of fall colours, a sweeping vista leading to the setting sun with the powerful Tombstone mountain looming in the distance. How could it get any better? It could - and it did! The ground was littered with fresh berries, and I had this view to only myself and two friends. Great view, food growing everywhere, friends by your side, hard to beat. There's magic in the North Klondike Valley!
