As everyone who has been to India knows, there are few places in the world where you can get that much color. It's everywhere: clothes, buildings, cars, jewelry, sky, elephants, you name it. It's pretty much Heaven for photography. Here are some of the photos we got from the beginning of our trip, 3 years back, that began in Kolkata and from where we took a train to Varanasi (Indian trains, that's a whole experience in itself and do prepare yourself psychologically if you will brave Kolkata train station where I did not dare pull out the camera). In future posts we will conclude this photo-story with Varanasi, Jaipur, Udaipur, Goa, Deli and, of course, the legendary Taj Mahal.

For those looking for new adventures, we have also recently started a series of posts as a narrative of the French Way of the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 28 days, across northern Spain. You can read about it and here. Excerpt from the Preface: "a journey through a land of kindness, humanity and faith, which will reveal to the reader that these values are not forsaken, but rather remain spontaneous in certain places of a world that, sadly, came to worship the ephemeral nature of owning over the eternal value of BEING."
