    Wish that was me! by: bananamariasouthamerica Views[789] The infamous guanacos of Torres del Paine National Park. by: bananamariasouthamerica Views[655] Fate of the Gods - For the sake of efficiency (with constant traffic of life-sized deities arriving at the ghat throughout the day), the deities are fished out of the water feet from where they were dumped. A microcosmic ritual mirroring the Hindu belief in reincarnation, the gods are added to the divine pile of cloth and clay, waiting, as they must, another 51 weeks to be reborn for next year's Durga Puja. by: fahyje Views[1231] Baptism - After the deities have been on display in elaborate and colourful dress around the city for the festival week, they are brought back to the Ganges. For this whole day, there are several popular ghats along the river bank where truckloads of locals arrive amid the throng of bhajans and the ecstasy of celebration. Colourful powder is thrown in the air, as people sing and dance in the street. Once the deities are offloaded, the men bring them down to the water. A microcosm of the Hindu idea of reincarnation, once the festival is over, the deities are unceremoniously and dumped in the Ganges, from whence they came. by: fahyje Views[1551] The Face of God - While most of the artists in the area are working on larger than life sized deities, there are some who work on smaller scales. Again, each piece is treated with the reverence and care that you would expect of a proud parent. Everything is done by hand. by: fahyje Views[1214]
     
    In God's Image - Layers of this clay are added to wooden frames, built to support several deities in standard poses, normally representing popular episodes from the epics. The attention to detail required of these artists means that this is tedious work and though the festival itself lasts only a week, the work goes on throughout the year. by: fahyje Views[1210] Grapes of Wrath - Kumortuli is an old quarter of Kolkata where families of artists have been working for generations, producing the most beautiful clay deities for the festival of Durga Puja. These deities are born of the Ganges and will be returned to the Ganges. The process begins by gathering clay from the banks of the river, and stomping it into a workable consistency, usually throughout the sweltering summer months. by: fahyje Views[1384] An old man at the airport watching sunset, by 35mm film by: ngatran Views[799] Red sunset by: ngatran Views[567] Xuan Huong Lake in fog by: ngatran Views[632]

    Some of the workers have just finished to load a “pinisi” with gypsum, which going through the direction of the Surabaya harbor. All of the hooded workers which are covered with the whit dust of the gypsum are looking like the crew of a ghost ship. by: myversion Views[1010] Workers are often using the turbid canal which comes from the Ciliwung River(Turbid water river)and flows into the sea, for moving from one ship to another for trasfering the stocks and the workers. During the navigation it’s usual to see the maintenance work of these old wood ships called “pinisi” in Bahasa, directly on the little platforms on the water. by: myversion Views[1038] Conditions of work are still ancestral, they work in the old way, without glove, barefoot and they protect their respiratory tracts from dust by covering their faces with t-shirts. by: myversion Views[859] Shimshal, in northern Pakistan, is a high mountain herding village. by: genevieve Views[974] Travelling doesn't always mean going to fancy places.

    Memories are something that you can cherish and relieve. There is a sea of memories, and a sea of lifetime events, a sea that will never be too full, or too shallow. by: mattpaquette Views[635] When you just start something new, where it be a hobby, a job, a new life, there will always be difficulties.

    Greenwich Park - Time is something that brings the whole world togehter. Time started because of travel...we travel today because we know what time to catch a train or flight. We are all connected because of time. Greenwich is one of the places where the international dateline passes through. In all this unity, it's important to define one's own path...regardless of what the others follow. Ergo, the above picture depicts the chosen path. Is it right? Or wrong? Only adventure has the answer. by: subranu Views[770] Paddington Station, London - Travel to many people means many different things. To me, it's all about culture. London, in general, is city with diverse cultures and ethnicities. And Paddington is a place where you are bound to come across people from all over: Indians, Germans, French, Italian, Spanish, Welsh and so on. by: subranu Views[973] The Supreme Court of India has ordered immediate ban on washing, draining industrial effluents and banning all other practices which pollute the waters of Yamuna. But other than Delhi locality, nothing has been done yet. Perhaps after another decade, Yamuna the river mentioned in the folklore of Lord Krishna, would not be there, only the stories will remain. by: debdatta Views[767] This mighty Barelang bridge is bridge that connect island of Batam-Rempang-Galang, that's where Barelang's name came from, is a place where most of Batam's people spend their time on afternoon/holiday by: batam Views[2492] The tracks make perfect benches when it's break time for the men who live in and near the slums of Haridwar, India. by: jessicajhill Views[893]

Cows and trash line the way, as in many towns across India. by: jessicajhill Views[956] After our working time we can do whatever we want. Sometimes we play basketball or ping-pong, sometimes we watch movie, play guitar, occasionally we make fire. Just like the picture, having a fire is my favourite entertainment, everyone could share their story, and because all the Wwoofers came from different country so we always have stories to tell. Through the communication between us and Toni, we could know what's a real local Aussie life which is very important to a traveler, and she could also know many different culture in this world. I think I was really lucky to spend 5 months with them as a Wwoofer. Knowing what's a real local life is always my intent while traveling the world. by: australianlife Views[700]
