Dancing Cricketers

We came unknowingly, and interrupted their game. We had been photographing the other side of the Mosque, a very fine sandstone building, and these kids were playing cricket………. a game played with a real passion in India…….. and of course, as soon as they saw our cameras, there was something potentially much more interesting……… tourists…….. and they promptly started dancing as you can see…………. aren’t kids wonderful…….
