[Leica] Manali - Photographs

[richard.lists at gmail.com (Richard Man)]

Manali calls for color images :-) Very nice and colorful.

My Goan images were lost during the hard drive crash :-( Must visit
India again. It's nice to see Buddhism still thrives in its
birthplace.

BTW, being an Indian native yourself, do you ask permission to
photograph either before or afterward?
