A friend of mine is taking an extended trip to India and shooting everything he can. Here's a link to the spring festival where they fling colored powder at each other. It looks fun and is very colorful. Someone told me that historically it was a natural antibiotic and they threw it everywhere during the start of the cold and flu season. I'm not sure if it's true, but it does look like they have fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> My friend is the one being held up by another guy in front of the jewelry store. http://www.jaysoncarpenter.com/proofs/holy/

Strange! A few weeks ago I went flyfishing at one of the beaches here in Jacksonville. The whiting were maing their run and I thought I might try them on the fly. Anyway there were a group of Indians engaging in this celebration. I thought it was a birthday party at the time.
