11.5 hours time difference to my home, 30+ hours air journey to get to the technology capital in India, the city of Bangalore, with 12 million inhabitants

I was there on a business trip arrived on a Saturday at 1 am, and I had the weekend to go shooting, brought the V1 with the 18.5mm f1.8 lens and 2 batteries.

Traffic is scary for unaccustomed visitor

although during the week I was there neither I or any of the others traveling with me saw any traffic accidents, quite remarkable, I compare the flow in the streets to a trail of ants, constant and unstoppable, flexible around obstacles, and the noise is a constant cacophony of horns, engines, and other noises that can feel overwhelming

Many women dress in their traditional clothes


and can make a great addition to shots of  traditional buildings, this is the Tipu sultan palace




armando_m:
next to the sultan's palace is the Kote Venkataramana Swamy Temple

crossing the streets is an art, except at traffic lights


Walked back to the hotel for lunch and went out again in the other direction , this time to the city market
