One more photo that speaks- of the intrepid human spirit .In the midst of all that murder and mayhem a handful of children are blissfully playing in the streets of houses riddled with bullets.

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.

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.

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.

I love this BBC picture of an old man stirring the milk for its wonderful perspective. The background stone wall with its delicious brown hues with a graduated tint has brought in sharp focus the old man’s face lit up partially in the ambient light. The quiet dignity of the man is striking.

I have just come across a fascinating photo collection by G.M.B.Akash .In particular I have liked the train pictures .All of them are about people who travel on the train’s roof and on every conceivable space on the train including the precarious chain links between the coaches. Apart from the human interest of the picture above, what fascinates me is the counterpoising of inertness of sleep with the blurry speed of the train ,achieving a kind of death-like effect , the inevitability of the dark tunnel as though it was an intended return to the womb. The man is disintegrating in the vast space-time continuum and the walls of his consciousness have broken apart as he gets sucked into the vastness of empty space.
