These photos were taken at Thol Lake Sanctuary Gandhinagar during my trip last year in Gujarat, India. This place is one of the most important tourist attractions in Gujarat and acclaimed as one of the best destinations for bird watching. To be able to reach this place at sunrise, I woke up early and travel about 40 km from hotel where I was living in Ahmedabad. It was the middle of January when the weather is very cold, and I felt frozen during my trip to that place by motorcycle with my Indian friend. But everything was worth when I get there. Sunrise came. Yellow, orange, blue and green reflected by the sky with silhouettes of bird troops in the air, the shadows of trees looked beautiful clad with morning fog and reflected by water of lake. Oh, felt like peek to paradise.

Have a brighter skin and Asian eyes then walking around the city of Ahmedabad India with a camera hang on your neck will make you being shouted "Hei Japan, take a photo of us!". Or "Hei are you Fillipin? Are you China? Can you take a photo of me please." Yah, that's what happened to me when I walked around city of Ahmedabad by people around me.
So, these are photos I captured as what they're asking to be photographed by me. Namaste!

"Hei Korean, add my facebook please..."


What are you thinking about a country named India? Bolywood? People dancing? Inspektur Vijay? If you think so, yeah, so do I.
24 January 2011, Mumbai, where I step foot for the first time and will remain there -Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Gujarat- for several days. India, is a place where people with different beliefs and different ways of worship can live with. A place where many unique and marvelous temples, ashrams, majestic buildings and roads, and also some slumdog areas fused. For as far as I could see, there were girls dressed in colorful saree with dozen bracelets in their hands and feet passing in and out of the house of worship. Also men with their collared shirt that was tucked in their pants. Indian music and songs heard from the green-yellow “auto rickshaw” (public transportation) combined with worship chants from the temples along the road. And for me, India was a place where I met a new guys that become friends, then become brothers.
So, What am I thinking about a country named Indian? That's more than just about bollywood and people dancing. More.
Then guys, are you ready for take around? Come on, pack your bag and let's auto rickshaw take you around our travel-photography blog. Acha acha?
