Varanasi is the spiritual heartland of India. There is also something really special about the Ganges River at dawn. When I last visited Varanasi, we ferried a couple of sadhus across the river, which provided a great photo-op. The river gulls seemed to be attracted to our boat. Together with the sadhus, the early morning light, and Varanasi in the background, it all created a beautifully ethereal atmosphere.

I keep coming back to look at these photos. I know I already commented, but this is just exquisite photography.
Wow! I am so honored Daniel, particularly since I so respect and admire the quality of your own images. I like for my images to tell a story, which to my mind is an important aspect of any art form.

I have always been intrigued by the "religious" philosophies of India Charley!
The path to afterlife..the mysteries of faith and the symbols of it....
