Amazing encounters with Hanuman langurs

yesterday we did a trip to the ""Hanuman langur" temple in Faridabad

we  being my daughter and her husband who's visiting us

so much fun to do these not so touristy things besides everything you want to squeeze in for them

Hanuman temple on Faridabad road

he's huge - like 20-25 meters high

the temple is in a ravine 

and it's a beautiful greenery

usually filled with langurs but today it took them a while to spot us and our bananas

it is a fantastic feeling to sit and feed them 

oops I wonder what happened to it's ear ?

the langur didn't think my daughter was fast enough with the peeling of the banana

she was looking at her like "will you hurry up" with a cheeky look

they sure know that humans mean food

Astrid got to feel their strength when they tried to get the bananas out of her hands !

my driver was so cute when he told them " No No ...wait" when they where jumping up to get the bananas...and they waited !

one of the temple cows

nice old man who was curious of where we came from 

I'm really happy that I got to show and share this with my daughter and her husband

things I wouldn't want to do today !

it's that day again

Friday the 13th !!
 IF you are superstitious this is THE day

I don't think I am but why push it....right?

there are some things that I wouldn't want to do today

like

ride on the outside of a car

try to be a snake charmer 

parasail after a speedboat high up in the air

paint the fasade or wash windows like this....

with the guy holding the rope on top of the roof

sitting on a little piece of wood

and I don't think I would go up in a hot airballon either

even if the view is as beautiful as this

   Are you superstitious ? 

Do you have things you wouldn't do today ?

Sunrises

last week I had two mornings with a sunrise that made me stop 

and almost miss my ride

this one was truly spectacular

looked like the sky was on fire

sometimes I forget that I do have an Iphone with a useable camera

sure happy that I remembered this morning

the sunrises I've had for the last two years in India are so different

they look so much warmer ( and they are )

 pinkish-yellowish

 on the road to Agra 

from our balcony in Gurgaon

and this spectacular morning I've showed you before but I so like this one

so why not show you again

from Jaipur....the old capitol Amber

an amazing morning in december with my dear friend Kathy

good thing I'm an early riser

but on the other hand I'm really tired in the evenings

a real party pooper

well well...we all have our week spots I guess...

enjoy the rest of your weekend

Keep on trucking !

one way to entertain myself while sitting in the car for a couple of hours

is to get pictures of all the trucks I see...

it turned out to be fun... 

because they are all painted differently

handpainted differently actually

an art form in itself...

please buckle up..it's going to be a bumpy ride...
 ... Indian roads...

my favourite is the one with the tiger...

again amazing...only in India
