Ganga Dream

I made this image while in a small boat on the Ganges river alongside Varanasi, India and waiting for the sun to rise.

great picture. is he praying? or meditating? I don;t know if the reflection is your editing or it was like that?

skiphunt Good question! I would guess meditating. I don't know if it's a he or she either. Thanks!

Mina I would say it's (He is) a man shoulders are too coarse for a woman or lady who has long beein in austerity! a man! I'd say

skiphunt I don't know, but I'd say a man too. :-)

wow, thats so interesting i love the colors of what she's wearing

skiphunt What's interesting to me is that everyone says it's a her, couldn't it as easily be a he? Fascinating. I wonder why? Also, some say this image disturbs them. I couldn't figure out why because it's so peaceful. I asked someone once who was disturbed by it and they said it disturbed them because it reminded them of that famous image of a protester who'd thrown a gasoline soaked sheet over their head and set it on fire near the U.S. White House. Strange isn't it? Anyway, thanks ninamarie8253!

Fantastic image Skip. Also, it had to be so wonderful to be able to sit there and be a part of the place, that day, and the experience. Congrats to you. :) My best, Phyllis

skiphunt The smell was a bit rough ;-) but yeah, it was nice. thanks Phyllis!

colors & situation are unbelievable. Varanesi is such an incredible place. Congratulation

skiphunt I haven't seen as much of the planet as I'd like to yet, but so far... Varanasi was the most exotic. Thanks!

skip,

I saw your image come past in screening and it made an impression then already!

Lovely one and very apt title, too.

Go well into 2010.

Colmar

skiphunt Thanks Colmar, you're very kind!
