Day 24: Thursday Challenge : Movement

24 Thursday Feb 2011

dance, jodhpur, kalbeliya, nikon d3100, photography, project 365, rajasthan, thursday photo challenge

So todays theme is

MOVEMENT (Shaking, Falling, Bouncing, Jumping, Curling, Sagging,…)

And what better to represent it than a Kalbeliya Dance

 

Some information on Kalbeliya from google

One of the most sensuous dance forms of Rajasthan, performed by the Kalbeliya snake charmers’ community, the sapera dancers wear long, black skirts embroidered with silver ribbons. As they spin in a circle, their body sways acrobatically, so that it is impossible to believe that they are made of anything other than rubber. As the beat increases in tempo, the pace increases to such a pitch that it leaves the viewer as exhausted as the dancer. Their women whirl and sway in village fairs. The pace is fast, and combined with their colourful costumes and sinuous bodies the effect is heady.

Watching the Kalbeliya women dance is an experience which is a must have in life I think. The women have a rare balance of beauty, rustiness, grace, elegance, energy and sensuality when they are dancing

A sight to watch and cherish forever

fundas, jag mandir, picture, project 365, red, thursday photo challenge, udaipur, wedding

So today the theme for the Thursday challenge in RED and this picture I clicked in JagMandir, Udaipur, Rajasthan. Wedding are conducted there regularly and these are remains of the wedding being cleared the next day. Just takes a little time to bring down the place where a couple started a new life, what an irony isn’t it? But then life is all about the memories that one collects at places and yeah pictures too Winking smile

animals, Giraffe, mysore zoo, pictures, thursday photo challenge

The Thursday Challenge theme today is

“BROWN” (Animals, Soil, Coffee Beans, Trustees, Furniture,…)

I had a lovely picture of coffee beans which I was thinking of posting initially but I remembered I didn’t share the Giraffe pictures with you guys that I clicked in Mysore Zoo… There is something about this animal that never fails to amaze… the long neck and yet the balance it maintains its just amazes me… giraffe is an animal that I find quite majestic

I love the balance of green and brown in this one

Take a stride, I told u I am amazed at their grace and balance

Did u know they are vegetarians? errr herbivores

Motherly Love

last but not the least my personal fav in the 50 odd shots I took of them... it always feels its trying to say something
