Morning is the best time to photograph Varanasi. The sun rises above the river, casting a golden glow across the Ghats, the steps that lead down to the river. Itās a scene of contrasts ā garbage and dirt intermingled with bathers and clean laundry; hazy skies with colorful fabrics and painted buildings, camera happy tourists with the purity of religious ceremonies. Itās a place that makes you feel. What you feel depends on the individual.

Debbie, your photos are fantastic! Thanks for taking me to places that I’ll never see in person. ….. Ann Kah (Linda’s mom)
Ann, Thank you so much for your kind words.
I love this grouping of photos.. depicting life against the soft morning light made them just brilliant! AND, you got the barber shot I tried for the whole time in India but never managed to get due to circumstance lol. š
Thanks Hali, and you got the camel shot I wanted; I never did get a good one.
