    1. Thank you!!! Yes, it is sadly human nature to take what surrounds us for granted 😉 I am glad the photos conveyed the ‘feel’! I didn’t go for the famous tourist shots but just wanted to highlight shadows and spirituality 🙂

    One query What’s wrong with snow, and ice ?

    1. Thank you! Hopefully, we can travel again later in the year. Snow and ice, I can stand; it is the grey limpid sky that comes with them that I baulk at. More snow expected over the weekend but we shall see 😉 Stay Well! 🙂

  5. It’s so grey and murky here, I could happily take up residence in any of your India photographs, especially the
    one with the sheet of sunshine beaming in through that square opening.
