Picture blog....

Ok dears,
Tonight I have decided to do a picture blog. As a follow up of last night's entry. So here goes! You guys all have to tell me what you think of this format. Oh and by the way I took these pictures and they are all copyrighted by me, so if you want pictures of india, fine. Use them, but just make sure you reference me, cause other wise thats stealing. Ok now then

1.) This first picture gives you a small idea of the huge crowds I was trying to explain. That whole day we coulden't barely leave our hotel. Every single street was packed, and if you think you know the tearm packed just take a look at this picture!

2.) This first picture is on my very first day in Haridwar. I am praying to the Mother Ganga (although I may have been posing for this perticular picture) You can see the foot hills of the himalayas in the distance. And wow, that picture makes me look fat! Ok not the picture, the clothes, but to bad because I love that top.

3.) This picture is me (agian) standing on a bridge crossing the ganga. I am in front of the ganga, foothills, and huge statue of Lord Shiva which besides, the river and mountians is the trademark of Haridwar.

4.) This is a deity of Ma Ganga sitting apone her "pet" or "vehical" which is a crocodile. Each of the Hindu gods has a "vehical" that is always with them and helps them do certain tasks. So yes this is the human form of the river. The river goddess you could say, but just fo the Ganga River.

5.) Ok I know this is a strange picture, but I love it so.... I just had to put it in! When I first actuly touched the ganga with my physical body I was pretty sick. I had a high fevor and a bad cold, an Indian version of the flu. Anyhow I haden't brought a change of clothes so I diden't want to take my dip then like everyone else. So I simply washed my face with the wonderful water and then sat on the bank with my feet in it. Two of my traveling companions where with me, and after their dips sat down beside me. Then one of them took this pictue. So yeah

6.) Ok this is just such a beautiful picture. It is a direct veiw of the really natural part of the Ganga on the edge of the city and the direct foothills of the Himalayas... one of the greatest mountain ranges in the world.
