Sankria, West Bengal. India.

It looks idyllic, doesn't it?

Cattle wallow in it, people use it as a lavatory then wash in it. Parasites abound.
They have a pump that provides clean drinking water from a deep well. But they have always bathed in this lagoon, they like to fully immerse themselves.

They build em tough in West Bengal.
Nice capture and nice processing in what looks like difficult lighting conditions.

Nicely done, Graham. It reminds me of life along the river in the jungles of Ecuador.

Nice shot. B&W, in my opinion, is the perfect medium for this shot.

It does look idyllic. I like the photo; but after your description, I think I would prefer to wash up somewhere else.
