The town where only the animals have stayed back

the town with only animal residents

“The town of Chaiten, south of Santiago in Chile, has been evacuated, leaving only animals, following the eruption of the Chaiten volcano for the first time in recent memory…”

The picture does not call for celebration because the residents have left the town on account of a volcanic eruption leaving only the animals behind .The picture is lovely one but what about the animals? It hurts to think .

Togetherness

A wonderful BBC picture ,as usual, which displays an uncanny instinct for spotting a photo-op and exploiting the fantastic creative possibilities that only the BBC staffers can do.

Dance at dawn

Moris men dancing the Morris folk dance

I love this Moris folk dance(in England) being performed at dawn. The dance with the sticks is so much like the Garba dance practiced in India.

Dust and ash

BBC NEWS | In Pictures | Day in pictures
A labourer carries dust and ash at a brick factory on the outskirts of Bhubaneshwar, India.

I love this picture from the BBC Day in Pictures.Especially the rich tone and hue of the brick dust with the ebony-skinned worker  in beautiful contrast.
