holi cows.


October 13, 2007

We met this man on a dusty road in Chitrakoot, India. I think he overheard us telling some kids how much we loved cows so he ran to us, rambled something in Hindi about his cows and then waved at us (literally, he kept waving) and led us to a building and downstairs to a cow barn. Whenever I stumble across this photo, I remember how he looked like this angel standing there with his cows, backlit by the bright India sun, so proud and happy for us to take their photo.
