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!

Mahabaleshwar Market

This is old lady was asking for alms at the weekly market.

Her belly looks big because poor women tend to keep their precious belongings or day's earnings in a small pouch tied to the waist and then covered by the saree.

  • 3rd year Pic 172 - Mar 01 2011<br /> with Fateh Singh Rathore (shot in February 2010)<br /> <br /> Fateh Singh Rathore, the legend of Ranthambhore is no more; he passed away this morning (1st March) after a brief illness. He was instrumental in nourishing Ranthambhore national park for many years as the field director and was one of the best known warriors in the global effort to save the Indian tiger. After retirement he was awarded the rare status of honorary warden of the park.<br /> <br /> He was a multifaceted personality and was equally at ease with children or adults and everyone who came in contact with him was affected in some way or the other. Not only that, people who had only heard or read about him were also impressed with his dedication and love for the tiger and the jungle.<br /> <br /> Even after retirement he continued his war on saving the tigers in particular and Ranthambhore park's conservation. That's how Tiger Watch, an NGO, was born and he served as its Vice Chairman. I've been associated with Tiger Watch for many years and it was during this time that I came to know him, having spent many days at his home Maa Farm and in the Park.<br /> <br /> I was fortunate to have gone there last Saturday and spent two days with him. He was quite ill and in pain but his ever strong spirit was still the same. He could barely whisper a few words but managed to convey his feelings with gestures, ensuring that the guests and visitors (there were quite a few) were all looked after and life carried on as usual.<br /> <br /> Last month his son Govardhan, our field biologist Dharmendra and his wife Divya asked close associates and friends to write a few lines on him. These notes were read out to him and never failed to bring a smile on his face. My note is included at the end.<br /> <br /> I pray his soul finds eternal peace in his heavenly abode and may Almighty give the family strength to bear this great loss.<br /> <br /> Though dear Boss, as I used to call him, is no more, his legend will live on...<br /> <br /> More pictures: <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Ranthambhore/Last-meet/16241071_4Rda8">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Ranthambhore/Last-meet/16241071_4Rda8</a>
  • 3rd year Pic 171 - Feb 25 2011<br /> Kates Point, Mahabaleshwar<br /> <br /> Pano 13 images - best seen in large size.<br /> <br /> <br /> Mahabaleshwar is a hill station near Pune (120 km - 75 mi) and (285 km - 177 mi) from Mumbai. It served as the summer capital of Bombay province during the British Raj. Mahabaleshwar is a vast plateau measuring 150 kms (58 sq mi), bound by valleys on all sides. It reaches a height of 1,438 m (4,720 ft) at its highest peak above sea level, known as Wilson/Sunrise Point. It is a popular holiday resort and honeymoon spot, and an important pilgrimage site for Hindus. In the ancient temple of Mahadev in Old Mahabaleshwar 4 other rivers come out from the cow (bull's) mouth apart from Krishna and they all travel some distance before merging into Krishna. These rivers are the Koyana, Venna(Veni), Savitri, and Gayatri.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabaleshwar">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabaleshwar</a>
  • 3rd year Pic 170 - Feb 24 2011<br /> Bubble reflections<br /> Mahabaleshwar Market<br /> <br /> Yes, they are bubbles! You get a tube with some gooey substance which you put on the end of a small plastic straw and blow from the other end. After the bubble is made you pinch it off and seal the hole. The bubble remains like that for a few hours and is a great novelty / toy for kids.<br /> <br /> Thanks to everyone for the comments on the lady's picture yesterday.

  • 3rd year Pic 165 - Feb 19 2011<br /> Corn on Cob<br /> Mahabaleshwar Market<br /> <br /> In India the corn is roasted on coal and when ready, lemon juice, pepper or red chili powder and salt are added to taste. In the picture the man is fanning the fire with a cardboard fan. Some people prefer to apply a bit of butter too! Another way is to open the husks partially, apply the butter, close the husk flaps and let it 'bake' on coal heat. This gives a lovely charcoal flavour!<br /> <br /> The full colour version is here: <br /> <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Mahabaleshwar-2011-ppl/DSC4693/1178077335_tBFYc-XL.jpg">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Mahabaleshwar-2011-ppl/DSC4693/1178077335_tBFYc-XL.jpg</a><br /> <br /> Thank you all for your comments on SC & full colour versions of Strawberry vendor yesterday!

    Very moving portrait, Harsh.... we see this all over the world, why does it have to be this way? How can we say we have an 'advanced civilization' with even one person left to live in this way and carry such hardship on her face? So very sad and so very wrong.....
