Hello Friends

For the gladness here where the sun is shining at
evening on the weeds at the river,
Our prayer of thanks.

For the laughter of children who tumble barefooted and
bareheaded in the summer grass,
Our prayer of thanks.

For the sunset and the stars, the God and the lovely
arms that hold us,
Our prayer of thanks.


this shot was captured in vrindavan (holy city for hindus). this city belongs to "Radha" (beloved of Lord krishna), you can see "Sri Radha" (in hindi) written on the background wall. he is wearing a holy tilak (sandalwood mark) on his forehead.

regards
Manuj Mehta

dear Manuj mehta,
strong contrast between his white wear and his dark skin and back dark wall makes mysterious ambience, it is impressive.
his whole figure looks showing his concern to something before him, maybe it is actual object and vision of his life too,
a wonder decisive moment of his prayer you took well.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa
