Caren's Photo Wins

Caren entered this photo in the weekly travel picture contest on MSNBC.com. And she won!! Congratulations.

She took this picture one morning on the streets of Narlai in the state of Rajasthan during our bicycle trip in India in October 2008. She used her Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 ultrazoom digital camera.

The woman's son is disabled and she walks him around town every day in a large bowl balanced on her head. She stopped to speak with Caren and explained that the boy enjoys the daily walks. He also has a wheelchair that she uses some of the time.

This was one of the many memorable "up close and personal" experiences we had on our trip to India. Check out the other blog postings and links to the photo albums from the trip.
