Part of my ongoing "Black Forest Waterfalls" series
The Gertelbach Falls near Bühlertal rank among the highest waterfalls in the Black Forest. The main cascades are 70 m high but the river overcomes more than 220 m while flowing through a broad canyon, resulting in many small water steps along its way. The photo depicts one of these lovely, smaller falls.
On 4th April, 2021, we arranged a program on traditional Santali tribal dance at the foothills of Baroghutu. All the performers were residents of a nearby village known to us for few years. In the month of February, 2015 we arranged our previous program with this same troupe. May share on of those images... www.flickr.com/photos/56819064@N05/16795556445
Baroghutu- a tribal hamlet at Mukutmanipur, Bankura district, India.
Mukutmanipur's undulating forested landscape marked by the vibrant colors of spring is refreshing and invigorating for body and mind. It is marked by the prominent hillock about 200 metres high, locally named "Baroghutu" (Baro- twelve, ghutu-/stones/hill). The tribal (mostly santals) hamlets of Baroghutu, Jambeda, Kumorbahal, Dhagora and Mukutmanipur encircle this hillock. With a landscape that seems naturally designed for adventure, Mukutmanipur offers opportunities in rock climbing, trekking and a variety of water sports.
The local tribal festivals, Tusu, Bhadu, Sahrai and Badna are symbolized by fascinating music and dance, and strengthen the Mukutmanipur experience, laden with the relaxed air of nature in the heartland. The Bankura district has a tribal population famous for its music, art and culture. Mukutmanipur is one such quaint village in Bankura district of West Bengal.
SANTALS
The Santhal (also spelled as Santal) are one of the Tribal peoples who live mainly in the states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, and Assam. They are one of the largest tribal community and one of the most studied tribal religions in India. The insurrection of the Santhals was mainly against the British and their supporters. On 30 June 1855 the Santhal rebel leaders Sidhu Murmu and Kanu Murmu mobilized 30 thousand Santhals and declared a rebellion against the British Raj (regime).
The Santhals are an agricultural tribe, from time immemorial they have cleared forests, toiled the land, and produced food for subsistence. Beside agriculture they also domesticate animals. Apart from these the Santhals also are well versed in the art of hunting, where their exceptional skills with bow and arrows is noticeable.
SANTALI CULTURE
The Santhali culture has attracted many scholars and anthropologists for decades. Unlike many other tribal groups of the Indian subcontinent, the Santhals have preserved their native language despite waves of migrations and invasions such as Aryan, Hun, Mughals, Europeans, and others.

I bought 10 rolls of this old film and I'm happy to see that they are still in a good shape.
I wonder why the scene of a waterfall makes us feel that the water is very clean. Perhaps it's the white, or the smooth clear look as it goes over the edge.
