"As I got down from the taxi at the Datia Palace, a little local girl in a not-too-clean white frock and dishevelled hair said 'hello' in a soprano-type sweet voice."

ReplyDeleteHi Celine!
ReplyDeleteThe picture is wonderful, and the young girl looks lovely!
The cenotaph is also a great shot and yours Tranquil Tuesday pics are becoming a must!
Hope you have a nice weekend!
That sweet voice and cheerful smile always ends up with some food or lil money but the pain inside remains the same, which reminds me every time how desperately those eyes were looking for a helping hand. I am clueless; can god be unfair to them???
ReplyDeleteCeline, I remember with pleasure that Datia Palace post. Thank you for giving us this photographic glimpse of the lovely little girl. Your words painted her beautifully too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome picture
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture! You can't go wrong with children. :)
ReplyDeleteAm I gonna repeat myself and say you really have a thing to take portrait pictures? This one is amazing. I can hear the little girl saying hello, shy and curious as the same time.
