Daily photos 3rd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my THIRD year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Second year - Critiques welcome!

  • 3rd year Pic 076 - Oct 09 2010<br /> Zari work, Udaipur<br /> Best seen in large size. <br /> <br /> Zari is a type of thread made of fine gold or silver wire used in traditional Indian and Pakistani garments. This thread is woven into fabrics, primarily made of silk to create intricate patterns. It is believed this tradition started during the Mughal era. Today, in most fabrics, zari is not made of real gold and silver, but has cotton or polyester yarn at its core, wrapped by golden/silver metallic yarn.<br /> <br /> Check out this pic too: <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Udaipur/13681113_3xWax#1000569463_zQfqq-A-LB">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Udaipur/13681113_3xWax#1000569463_zQfqq-A-LB</a>

  • 3rd year Pic 073 - Oct 06 2010<br /> Jewelery shop , Udaipur<br /> <br /> Udaipur is famous for it's silver jewelery and that's where the ladies took us along! The old sarees & jewelery shops had this kind of comfortable mattress seating arrangements, probably encouraging the women to lounge there the whole day! <br /> <br /> Since many years sitting on mattresses is common not only in shops but also in homes. No bulky furniture, easy to clean, can accommodate more people and one can lie down if tired! :-)
