The last installment of photographs from the walkabout around the Parry's
area on 30th December 2012 - mostly people shots, all taken with the Nikon
D800E and the AFS 85mm f1.8G lens except of one shot with the 16-35 f4 set
at 35mm. Thanks for bearing with me on this almost unceasing flow of
photographs!

On The Road: The man asked me why I wanted to take his photograph, and I
replied that it is because he was smiling - he went off happy:

The next four shots are in and around a Jain temple in the area. Jainism is
thought to have had its roots in the Indus Valley Civilization, but is
practiced today as formulated by the saint Mahavira around the 6th century,
has to be the most non violent religion ever devised by man. All life is
sacred, including bacteria, and holy men will walk only barefoot, and
breathe through masks made of muslin, to minimize damage to other forms of
life.

Three shots of kids on their way to the temple:

The last one is of two devotees in the temple itself. Jain temples are
generally constructed from white marble:
