streets and sights of Delhi

From street sellers to construction workers, barbers and tuk-tuk drivers and people of all imaginable faiths Delhi is an amazing show. I wished for a camera that could record every angle, every second, every face and every situation. Didn’t have this theoretic camera yet I still managed to capture I hope some of the magic of Delhi.

This photo gallery concentrates on only one day (actually half a day) spent in Delhi, from noon to early evening.

For some photos of the people in Delhi you can also visit “faces of India” gallery.
