Varanasi - morning scenes

Scenes viewed from our hotel balcony
Matinal cows Contented cows in the morning Kite back down A child gets up
... and helps get it going. Flying a kite Dancing to keep it in the air I'm not sure he agrees
Children Colorful young ladies ... stretches .... The ashram awakes ...
Kids taking care of each other ... Beasts of burden Spreading out grain to dry in the sun And another rickshaw arrives
Yet another type of vehicle Looking toward Assi Ghat (behind the trees) A lady draws water from the well ... Hold on
A shiny new rickshaw gets polished Some are just arriving Off for the day on motorcycles ... and pours it into her bucket.
Young and old Off to school Another rickshaw heading for work ... and brushes teeth
If anybody knows what this bird is, please let me know. It doesn't have the wing stripes of a hoopoe. The white building with the pyramids is a multi-confessional ashram. So do we! A morning men's chat
... for his morning shower The mystery bird Drawing water from the well ... Assi Road and the entrance to the yard in front of our hotel (Temple on Ganges)
An assistant arrives .. The yard. I estimated the well in the lower-right-hand corner to be almost 10 meters deep and the bucket to weigh about 5 kg. Two atypical Indian doggies ran up the stairs to the roof School children in uniform and a balloon seller
More dog play School children Uh-oh, he's striding along like he's late. Get 'em, kid
... or playing with dogs Ladies chatting in the morning (7:20) sun ... or playing ... Mystery bird and cow
