This is like the lion hiding in the grass ... you look .. so what .. a picture of grass ... then you look again and you see. I love shots like this that make the viewer work for the payoff. Very clever, Graham.

Looks like wares on display from a second floor store. Or is that the Cafe? Interesting.

There is a cafe there, the store is on the ground floor. Indian cities are an amazing jumble of buildings and businesses.

Apt observation! My first reaction was to note similarity to a fox peering through reeds at the edge of a marsh. Graham's cleverness...yet again!

Reminds me of "Where's Waldo" Good catch Graham. Although, I would like to metion the electrical system. I notice the many abundance of wires and the routing in this one and in other images (not yours) on how so many wires seem to be running in every which way in abundance. They seem to be so chaotic.

Thanks Dave, the chaos, for me, is part of the beauty of India. I'm not one for cloning out wires in this type of image. Sometimes I've been know to leave them in landscape, much to the dismay of many :-)

Thanks Graham !!! No, I wasn't referring to clone them out. I guess I was just mentioning it for it seems to be a norm there.

The electrical wiring in India is crazy, it's scary. The electricity supply companies just drape the wires wherever it's easiest for them. Then there is the illegal wiring.

You know what's really funny about that wiring is the Free Wi-Fi sign right next to them. It tells the story. How fast is that Wi-Fi Graham?

I can't speak for that particular hot spot but in some of the hotels and restaurants it was very fast, others not so fast. India is a very connected country.
