my favorite photos...

 i'm  back home...

and these are my favorite photographs of india...

 they range from sunsets out my hotel veranda

to nuns chanting at the dalai lama temple...

images of mcleod ganj from every angle

 to treks into the mountains...

 color from holi

 to images of women working...

 and children making art...

 sculptures of avalokitesvara...

 to multi colored tibetan temples...

 curious young monks

 and peaceful lit interiors...

 to women making color wheels

 and hanging my students' gift of peace art

 from meaningful signs along the roadways

 to beautifully painted buildings...

 and decorations for skin...

 from evening aarti and puja

 to monkeys eating...

 and holi donkeys that match outdoor art

 from children painting

 to merchandise in the streets

 even touristy images of gates

 and park mehndi...

 as well as hanuman sculptures for sale

 and more mehndi to be had...

 from devi exhibitions

to a husband and wife crafter team

and everything in between....

stay tuned for more images, artwork,

journal pages, thoughts and more as i

share my 3rd journey to india with you:)

xonamaste,
