Beyond the Aravalli Hills* by theurbannexus
Through a beautiful sculpted Hindu archway, I gaze over the Aravalli Hills that litter the Rajasthani landscape. The hills stretch approximately 560 km from northeast to southwest Rajasthan, and then continue as isolated hills and ridges into the state of Haryana (formerly part of the state of Punjab) and near Delhi. The highest point is on Mt Abu, and is known as Guru Shikar. It rises 5653 feet (1.72 km). The hill range is further divided into the Sambhar-Sirohi and the Sambhar-Khetri ranges. The peaks of the Aravalli Hills are famous for their white peaks, formed not by snow, but by large masses of rose coloured quartz. / __ Dedicated to Marnie Kaur Sidhu, a friend who helped me through picking a new domain/flickr name (and helped me name a business in the past) :) / : at Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Close to heaven by James Godber
This view, of the mountain and prayer flags, taken at Ganden monastery in Tibet was magical. The air was thin and the walking tough, but it was worth it. SOLD: One Framed Print to the lovely Sal. Thank you Sal!

The Tea Picker's Hat by James Godber

Trash? by Elaine Li
I sent this photo to Think Great Awards 2008, and was 1st Runner up in the senior section of Best Photo Awards. :) / (http://www.englishbuilder.hk/site/ThinkGreat/winners.html) “In the society we live in, many underprivileged people are forgotten or ignored by us (the pedestrians). They are marginalized and, symbolically in a way, dumped to the fringes of society like trash. Fringe dwellers are so elusive in our society that we almost see them as invisible, much like how the old lady’s attires are camouflaged by the garbage bags. The garbage bags somehow seem to be her “Invisibility cloak”. People’s ignorance to the underprivileged is a prevalent social issue. This old woman, most likely to be in her late 60’s, is surrounded by not only rubbish bags, but also uninterested pedestrians. The reasons for her actions are yet to be revealed, but on this cold winter’s day (note that this was shot in December), she would most likely have been searching for clothes or food. As they say, one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure. The contents of the rubbish bags may not be needed by others, but to her, they are vital things for survival.”

Sadhu, Nepal by Emma Clark-Kennedy
Durbar Square, Kathmandu. A Sadhu takes a couple of moments to feed the pigeons. The red of the building and of the Sadhu’s clothing contrasted with the grey of the pigeons beautifully. I loved the serenity of this moment.

Kick it to me by Louise Cooke
Kata Beach, Phuket. This shot encapsulates my overall impression of thai people – fun loving, friendly people who get pleasure from simple things. It was such a treat to watch them at play.

Divine | Halebeid by Kishore Murthy
30 July 2005 | Clicked on monochrome film / Location: Halebeid (Halebidu) Temple, India Halebidu Temple is located in the Hassan District, Karnataka, India and was the capitol of the Hoysala Empire in the 12th Century. This is one of my all time favorite pictures and manages to instill a sense of serenity within me every time I look at it. I remeber the seconds of hurry prior to this click. The temple was crowded and photography inside was quite difficult due to a lack of light. People were seated here and there praying / pondering while many others were walking in and out. I was still using a film SLR camera at the time which meant that I would not know if I got what I clicked the way I visualized it until later. As I stood there muttering to myself, I saw a man seated in contemplation and the beautiful light coming from the door way and my fingers went jittery with excitement. And just as I was wishing for the other people around him to step out of the door it happened. It lasted only a couple of seconds before the man who was seated got up and left… it was enough.

Miss Elephant 2009 by jacqi
My vote goes to the one with the painted toenails! / These gorgeous elephants line up ready to take visitors up the slope to the Amber Fort near Jaipur, India. Many were decorated beautifully and are kept as large pets by their mahouts or drivers. / The elephants are allowed to go up only five times a day and a log is kept to make sure. We were very lucky in getting the very last elephant ride of the day and extremely uncomfortable and precarious it felt too! / I don’t know what on earth the middle mahout is doing! /

Little Princess living on the Street by VivekDNA
This adorable little girl, living on the streets of south India with her brother and sister was thirsty! / Me and a friend where shooting, saw her and focussed on her, afterwards we felt strongly inclined to give her a little money. Usually I don’t do it for they work for the mafia or buy alcohol from it or give it to their parents and they waste it. But this little girl got the money and went straight to a little shop to buy a cold lime soda! She shared it with her brother and sister and they where SOOOO happy! It was a great moment. / Most people who live in the west take everything for granted, Many people in Asia can hardly survive each day… A cold lime soda on a freakin hot day is awesome! Gear: Nikon D3 & 24-70 2.8 / Settings: 1/160 – F/2.8 – 70MM – ISO 280 / Processed in Lightroom
