I Heart People Watching (in Agra!)


You know me and my penchant for people watching. I'm sure no one's surprised I've photographed a few interesting people while in Agra. Photos are from Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the streets of Agra.

Wow that's a fantastic assortment of the many types of people sharing this experience with you. Most of the photos I see of this historic area (and others, for that matter) are almost without people...I always wonder if the photographers have to get up at the crack of dawn in order to be the only tourists there. I like your take! Thnanks for sharing.

There's something about India, Maria, that can't be described in words as well as in pictures. It's the amazing colors for me...the people, the clothes, the architecture. I'm so glad you have shown all these images. Thank you!

Wow, love your photos, quite fascinating. People watching isn't something I've done with my camera but maybe I should. The bird is wonderful too!

Pieces of Sunshine said...

May I ask what camera you use, these shots are very crisp and have wonderful colours - apart from having great subjects.

Pieces of Sunshine said...

Thank you!

About your question, I haven't any name for the white flower of my post, I didn't find it on Google.

A fine series of pictures with action and a story in many of them. Excellent technical work in all the pictures.
I really like the youngster's stride in that shot.

Seeing that a lot of foreign women tourists have their pictures taken in front of the Taj wearing a sari, I meant to ask if you did try it yourself?

You are a very talented photographer for sure.
