Mata Sita Flowers

The ends of the blue Indian winter, no spring. It's cold angry few months, then the pores of the earth will settle down and letting go on a continuum than just blink of an eye tooth. The Gangetic plains are from winter to summer like a shot. Yesterday, the coats. Today the plant lush and suffer the nuisance morning sun, the heat wave that touches the fifty degrees and destroys any attempt at life as God intended.

With these few nice days last March, I present Sita Mata, a small playground in my neighborhood that have few neighbors a few years lovingly caring for (the government has enough with what you have).

Puri beach

Puri, a city sacred to Hinduism, home to an avatar of Vishnu in the temple of Jagannath, prohibited entry to Western visitors. The city leads to a long beach of fine sand but waves relentlessly and scorching sun. Until dusk falls, and then the Bengali holidaymakers are preparing to go to walk, barefoot, on the thin layer of water left by the retreating waves, and that reflects just a few minutes of agony, the last shades of pink from the sun in printing and dying to get rid of the clouds.

Thar Desert

In the picture, the Thar Desert, on which runs the border between India and Pakistan. Both countries have a border dispute dating back to independence and partition of the subcontinent in 1947. But in Thar tension does not reach the level it has in Kashmir. This area, in the Indian region of Rajasthan, has a sparse population and scattered. The foothills of Thar was the place chosen by India for its nuclear tests of 1998, which were condemned by the international community.
