Great photos!! Thanks for sharing. Are you, by chance, a professional photographer? Sure looks like it.

Yes, and note that the father is the only one with a helmet, hate to think about the poor little guy up front taking a header!

Don't know if you know this or not. Hindu custom says that a woman must not touch a Hindu man in public....so the ladies on the motorbikes do not hang on to the man operator...talk about dangerous! I have visited Guntur in Andhra Pradesh state and learned of many customs there that are so unlike our own. Ladies, whatever our personal circumstances, we American women are so fortunate.

Loved the photos, you DO have an artistic eye!

I wondered if you had any encounters (close or otherwise) with snakes? It seems everyone I know that has gone to India has had a snake experience. Since I am convinced that should I see a live snake my heart would truly stop (forever because I would not want to recall the event) I have Xed out India from our travel agenda.

Beautiful pictures. Many of them woould make nice looking fabric. To bad you could not find a fabric store. Even plain boring fabric would be great in a quilt coming from India.

Your pictures are thrilling as I am sure I will never go in person. Not quite what I expected either as have known people who went but either times are changing fast or they went to more primitive areas. I am sure this will bump up your creative edge a ton. Wish you could have found fabric. I have found beautiful fabric in the past in Indian restaurants. Maybe you didn't get to go to the right part of town because you know those ladies buy that beautiful fabric somewhere.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures with us. Have a safe trip home and hope to see more of your work soon.

Yes, we did. We had to take off our shoes and socks, though, and leave them in the car. It was quite an interesting place.

Didn't see any snakes, thank goodness! :D

Great pics, loved the flowers

Great pictures Eddie, glad you got a chance to go.

Loved looking at your pics, it must be so nice to be able to see interesting parts of the world while you work. Thanks for sharing with us, but have missed your beautiful quilting. :thumbup:

Eddie, just talked to my sister in LR, and she said there are big fires in Saline County! Hope they are far from you and yours. She said some evacuation went on today, but tonight the city has smoke warnings. Keep your windows closed overnight to avoid breathing in the smoke.

The fire was in the city of Traskwood, which is about 12 miles South of us (and my father's hometown). It's a small town of about 300 people. It burned about 500 acres, but is under control now. We had some ash from it fall in our yard this afternoon. Glad they got it under control!

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. Since I know I will never get to go to India it was great seeing all those beautiful pictures.

oh Eddie i was starting to wonder where you were Eddie now these pictures explain it thanks for sharing Eddie

Thank youfor the lovely pics. Beautiful flowers.

beautiful pictures, it is a country of such contrasts. My daughter spent a summer there in an internship, she loved it.

In Hawaii your Cobra Flower is called a Plumeria, It smells wonderful to people. I guess to snakes, too. LOL

Wonderful pics, Eddie, thank you so much for sharing.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.

Wow Eddie! Great to have you back in the US. I hope you'll blow up some of the flower pics to make a wall-hanging.

Beautiful pictures. thanks for sharing.

thank you so much for sharing your photos withus....the flowers are out of this world

The picture were wonderful I always wanted to go to India. The scaffolding reminds me of Hong Kong, they use that scaffolding on the huge skyscrapers and have a very low accident rate. Much lower rate than we have. They know how to climb them. Thanks so much, glad you are back safely.

Eddie,

Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. Are you going to take the pictures that you took in India and transfer to fabric to make a quilt???
