North Kolkata , the winding lanes and mansions that are crumbling down. An old guard of the fading times ... shot yesterday . A D810 with a 14-24

Wonderful shot Somnath. I would never thought of keeping those collapsible gates in the frame. Beautiful! Keep sharing!

Thanks Anirban, sometimes I include the "environment" as in this instance. Will post some similarly shot images down the line
