Woman in Red

The assured look of a villager in the small hamlet of Rameshwar. The eyes are wise if a little wary, but she has no issues about being photographed and she allows herself the slightest of smiles that is characteristic of the friendly nature of so many that I have met in my travels in India.

      Today, just to change the topic, it has snowed for the first time this winter. Must go out tomorrow with the camera!
