HFF from Shekhawati

HFF from Shekhawati
Nawalgarh, in India, with its crumbling historic painted havelis, the former homes of extremely wealthy merchants. I was walking, taking photos, when I felt a thump in the middle of my back. It was this giant bull, a creature of privilege, walking the streets of its territory and bumping people out of the way.
I moved, quickly!

Have a top Friday, a weekend of sun and happiness, and a great new week ahead.
Your visits and comments are so very appreciated.

The picture with the haveli reminds me of the places Alsisar and Mandawa in the Shekhawati region.
There were also plenty of cows on the roads, but I didn't have such an adventurous encounter.

I've always wondered why, if these creatures are supposed to be sacred, they don't look after them properly? All the photo's of them I've seen show them as underfed and looking as if they're on their last legs.

Anyway, this was a lucky encounter for you............and you got a good shot out of it. HFF Diana and have a good weekend ahead.

The suffering of these animals, which often feed on garbage and ingest plastic in the process, is indeed immeasurable. Fortunately, there are aid organizations that take care of them and, i.a., try to sustainably improve their living conditions through education.

True. They do. And most states have cow shelters in their bigger towns for this purpose. They do wander widely and unpredictably, though. The bulls are a nuisance.

Many are emaciated and bloated with plastic. This is a more rural area. This fellow looked quite a hardy specimen, Keith.

I don't blame you. Being pushed out of the way by a bull is normally a pretty risky business!

Not harmless, but he enlivens the image with this remarkable, historic building in a special way.

I feel as if I am walking a route of centuries past. A timeless feel here. I would have been very wary of the bull.
Are you on holiday in India at the moment, Diana?

Eine ausgezeichnete Architektur zeigt das historische Gebäude, Diana.
Leider fehlt wohl das Geld für eine Renovierung.

That could have been a nasty encounter Diana. He is quite a big fella and could do some damage I am sure. Love the painted buildings.
