Cart

A dusty village road, a peasant comes along slowly in his cart pulled by the two bovines:

Like a boss

Whoever coined the "like a boss" expression must have travelled to India and meed those people, with their air of superiority: they really do feel like bossed and don't care about anything around.

High-tech

Walking on the streets of Kolkata I saw this camera store. Had to take a pic and share with the world. Now I think I may go to F64 and search some stuff.

Resting

On the side of the highway, the food sellers take advantage of the departing bus and having no customers for a while they can rest and play some cards game.

Fishmongers

That day it was a holiday and the tradition it was to eat fish (on top of that, fish is a Bengali speciality), so the streets of the Ukhra village were full with fish vendors. They were happy so see me, a white man, something unusual there and very eager to get photographed.

Bright future

So I think this picture is the best to start the illustration of my recent travel to India, I spent most of the time on the Ukhra village, but also in the Kolkata and Durgapur cities, all of them in the West Bengal. The state was for a long while under a communist government and it shows, not only from the many signs you can see on the walls. More to come :)

Frozen

I absolutely have no idea how those birds, both swans and ducks, manage to bath in the frozen water, but somehow they do. I prefer to stay with warm water instead :)

Bruges

So back in Belgium I didn't do only pervy stuff, tasty luches and geeky matters, I also had the opportunity to visit the beautiful city ov Bruges, with its old buildings, the canal and the chocolate, everything covered in ice and snow (it was a cold winter):

It is a beautiful day outside: snow still fresh, bright sun and clear air (is cold), so when I had some errands outside (to print a few indian cosplay pics, incidentally), I couldn't resist taking a few snaps. Until my fingers got almost frozen on the camera and then I was happy to return to the warmth of the office :). Anyway, as you can see, Bucharest is flooded in snow, but we are still alive:

Belgian lunch

The blog was silent for a while, I was away for a couple of weeks: a trip to India and another one in Belgium, so some posts are on their way. Starting it slowly with a Belgian lunch I had in Bruges: shrimp salad, Flemish meat, oysters, fries, Leffe beer and chocolate mousse. Not bad at all.
