Christmas and snow and Norway used to be rather synonymous. But this year adds to a slowly changing trend with winter arriving later and spring coming earlier. Here from the inner part of the Hardange

Thank you, Bill... all were shot with the 70 and so labeled. I don't have a 120.

 

Jip, I didn't see any others there. :) Some people might prefer to travel with a smaller/lighter rig, but this suited me fine. Years ago I took my Pentax 67 to Hawaii several times, so the S2 is the smaller rig!

 

I've been shooting on my island, Kauai, for several years with my S2/70 but when I travel, I take my M9.

Leica S 006, 70mm lens

I got the S to try as an alternative to 4x5 view camera. So far, I am pleased with results, although I am still learning the S.

Your images bring back very sharp memories of the days I spent in Varanasi five years ago on our first time in India, and the final stop on an 18 day tour. Even my Western mind was enveloped by the magic of this holy city. Bobbing up and down in a boat on the Ganges, observing waves of sparks spawned from the mass cremations on the Manikarnika Ghat, all reaching into the black heavens, was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. I long to go back to the most challenging place that I have ever traveled to, and the most profound.

Thanks for the spark.

Alan, if you are interested in exploring the rich complexity of India's spiritual traditions, in the heavens and on earth, I recommend to you Prof. Diana Eck's book on India's spiritual geography. It is as mind twisting as the nest of electrical wires suspended across the streets of Varanasi.

Thanks David for the great commendation. I attended a book talk by Eck but hadn't thought of it before the trip. I'd seen the documentaries and read the books about Varanasi, but being there was indeed something different. Compared to the portrayal in Robert Gardner's Forest of Bliss of the 1970's it seems that contemporary Varanasi (especially with the state-sponsored rituals) is already considerably tamer and tidier.

Also very touching to me was visiting Buddha-associated sites in Bihar province, especially seeing multinational pilgrims come together at Mahabodhi Temple and the ruins of Nalanda University where pilgrims from as far as Japan came to study. There's a tragic beauty in the contrast between the foreign investment and temple constructions and the poverty of the locals, indicative of Buddhism's fall into historical oblivion in India itself since the 1300's.

Alan, I envy your experience with Prof Eck. Her book is so dense with detail, it is like a walk through Varanasi, itself.

I immediately looked up the Forest of Bliss which may be accessible on line (but not on NetFlix, regrettably). 

This is a very enjoyable read. http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Trunk-Road-Delhi-Khyber/dp/1904587992?ie=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top

The author uses his experiences on this most famous of highways to paint an elegantly historic journey of India throughout its modern times and transitions. Well worth the time.

By the way, lovely images with the 007. Were I there, I would use my 006 as a walkabout as well. Good for you.

Frankly, I get the shivers every time I see people submerged in the Ganges, which may be holy but surely not wholesome. It is all well and good for the local population which can bring the necessary immunologic defenses to bear. But i witnessed this Japanese fellow jump from a boat into the stew. And I prayed for him. Personally, I had an out of body experience whilst bobbing on the Ganges, but it was not of the existential variety. 

Prof Eck emphasizes the celestial sources of the Ganges but cautions that mere immersion does not insure spiritual cleansing. After all, she observes, if that were the case, all the fish would be in heaven.

Namaste.

David
