Hi Gert,
Fine daily life scene in front of that sacred place where people gather. I like the artwork of the facade and the colored clothes. Well seen.

Hello Gert,
I like very much how the people blend with the architectural and cultural details of the temple. They are so tightly and meaningfully bound together and it's interesting that in the photo information you didn't even include "architecture" in the categories:) I like very much the rewarding result of the wide, upward perspective. Architecture and people are very interesting and you have captured this "ordinary" scene with wonderful light management and colours. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hi Gert, Haha, I was in Kanchipuram but later, in 2004. Interesting photo, with beautiful architecture of the temple and nice everyday life scene, like in India. Excellent composition. Strange that in 2001 still not digital photos. Seems ages ago.
Seeing such pictures, I miss India.
Have a nice day, regrads from rainy and cold Warsaw

Hello Gert,
Yes, this is new in comparison to the more than a quarter of a century old gems from your archive. A fine DL shot of the devotees gathering in front of the beautiful temple. The devotees with shaved heads have offered their hairs to the God. A tradition very unique to South India is that young women devotees too shave of their fine mane as a part of the religious offering. Nice one with lots of details to enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Subho

Hej Gert
What do you mean by this photo does not have anything to tell? It has a lot to tell to me. It is a pleasant every day scene that shows the daily life of people in a great way. There is the man just coming from his prayed, the women rushing for the shopping, the mother and her small child relaxing on the steps of the beautifully decorated temple. With a bit of fantasy every one of them is telling us his own story here.
have a great day
hejdå
Daniel

Hola Gert

Read your note with Ourania, agreed with you, a daily life category is the true description of the capture
Besides pleny of mouvement and interesting scenes like the one at the left and matching it, another litle boy at the far right

Well done, congrats
Maria
Also the colorful temple is good to watch

Hi Gert
having never been to India I can't speak for it precisely, but I have traveled to Thailand for 30days straight.

what i'm getting at is, spending all that time in Thailand - i hate to admit it but i became very very tired of photographing temples. They are everywhere.
did you experience the same in India??

I guess after a while they just all started to look the same and i became disinterested - but i suppose its all about how you look at the situation, negatively or positvely.

even though this is only 13 years old, because of the scan it looks like a much older scene.

very rustic and real.
many age variances in this one snap shot.
fine post
cheers

Namaste Gert,
Another excellent composition here. Like how you presented it with those human activities with the backdrop of a fine architecture. Light and colours are nice and the depth is superb. A really enjoyable one. TFS.

Hello Gert,
sometimes these under appreciated buildings can be much more interesting than those with established places on the tourists routes. The one on the picture is absolutely charming despite being maybe a little bit neglected. All the details of the walls are very fine examples of art and probably I would stand there for a long time studying them. I also like the way you captured and included people in the composition, their indifference to being photographed and lack of posing. Well done!
Thanks for sharing!
Kamila

Hello Gert,
As usual these daily life photos offer plenty of interest. I like the faded colours of the temple and the different clothes being worn. The small child crouching anchors the composition very well and draws my attention.
You have such interesting travels - TFS.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hi Gert!
This one is also a few years old. It's good daily scene at the temple. There's so much life going on with the kids and the adults and I like the details of the old temple.

A competent scan of a great slide. The colors are well saturated, the POV is well-thought out and the subject is captivating.
