Yesterday afternoon, I went to bid a fond farewell to the Niagara Falls (on Canadian side). I have always been very impressed by this force of nature. I went there many times during my 21 years in Toronto. I am moving near Ottawa next month, so I'll have to bring my grand-children to see them in a couple of years...

beautiful !

I love those! :)

Thanks!

I like taking picture of people when I travel abroad. We are so much all different in our way of life, but so much the same in our emotions, desires, hopes, needs. I also like to take their environment. I want the people who don't travel to have an idea of how it is out there...

I went to India 5 times and am planning to go back. Of course, it is very poor. In Mumbai, you will see many whole families living on the street (sleep, eat, wash), especially the rickshaws families. Don't ever eat ice cream because the electricity goes on and off. I did once and was REALLY sick. I published 2 books on blurb. One on Kolkota, Varanasi and Bodhgaya and one on Varanasi, Agra and Nepal. You can find them under my name : Blurb - Claudette Gravel. It is not an easy place, especially the first time because of the culture shock. And all the beggars. Mother Teresa was suggesting not to give to the beggars because it keeps them beggars for generation. I worked in some of her houses, in Kolkota, Varanasi and in Haïti. Go! The colours, the life, the noise, the people, the dogs, the cows everywhere, you will never see anything like this riding on your motorcycle in USA! Enjoy! and bring you camera always making sure everything is very close to you. No fancy jewels or stuff like that. It is such a poor country, people steal whatever they can. And if you travel by train, buy the most expensive seats where the door locks. People attach their luggages with chains to prevent luggage thefts. And bring us some pictures!

Thanks ! :)
