Colorful Chennai

Today, the streets of Chennai offered up a magical experience that made me happy this was not my first trip to a developing country.  I was able to see beyond the contrasts between socio-economic class, poverty, trash, and chaos to a city with labrynthine streets filled with color, community, and welcoming faces.  I have never been in a community so open to the camera and so unworried about the distance between our lived realities.


Walking through the neighborhood behind our hotel:  







From there, we walked to a beach on the Bay of Bengal:






Then we walked and felt our way through various neighborhoods: 





We came across a Catholic church where there was a Wednesday wedding!


 




around the corner...
















  

not to be confused with a pup, here is a calf tied to a moto






this made me laugh!
