Photo Essay: India

2,207: the number of pictures I took in India over a short 24 days. The most out of any country we visited. From people, especially women & their beautiful saris, to street scenes to arches to lattice windows to monuments to carvings to signs to cows & monkeys, India inspired me so much, I couldn't put my camera down.

It's been four months now and I still cannot believe we made it there. We spent 5 days exploring all three corners of this triangular shaped island. From visiting countless moai (statues) platforms, both restored and unrestored, both at sunrise and sunset, hiking up and around craters and enjoying lazy afternoons at the beach, we never ran out of things to do.
