India 2 – January 2014 – Images by Art Wolfe

India is just such a colorful and amazingly diverse country. We’ve been traveling in Kerala, home to vast tea plantations, and then in the arid border regions of Kutch. One tribe has beautifully painted homes—these people are artisans who stay in one place. The others live in huts made from sticks, hides and plastic and are truly nomadic, looking for forage for their herds of cattle and camels.
For the last couple weeks I have been traveling in India with some very good friends. As a last minute change in our itinerary, we decided to head off to Kanha, where we enjoyed seeing the abundant wildlife and the adjacent villages. Then we headed off to Mumbai and the Dhobi Ghat (the world’s largest laundry), which couldn’t be any more different than the bucolic countryside.
