  11. This is very nice with the intimacy. I wanted to share with you that I attended a ceremony with Indigenous and Hindu people at a temple here, my first time at a temple and very significant and historical event and impressed with similarities of the rituals in the spiritualities. Had a sacred fire, round dance, smudging, etc.Wonderful!

  29. Nice street photography… I also get urge to take such photos but then I hesitate and never take that shot. Just a curious question, when you take such pictures do you take a permission?
    BTW lovey collection of pictures…must follow! :)
