Mother and Child by andycoleborn

Mother and Child

I only had a split second here as this lady lifted her face veil to shout something to some boys before recovering herself...

Thar Desert, Rajasthan, India

Drove the thirty miles from Jodphur on the edge of the Thar Desert is the small village of Osian, with a number of 8th century temples - both Hindu and Jain. Both were built around the same time and have fantastic carvings.

After a quick visit here, we jumped on some camels (as you do) for a 3 hour ride watching the sun set before stopping off a a desert village for a bite to eat... no lights and a sky full of stars... was fantatic..!

Thanks to everyone who has viewed and commented on all my India snaps... I've hundreds (well, 1,500 to be precise) so expect a few more :-)...
Instant fav! Love the colours, the capture and the insight into a different culture!! Fab candid!
