Have to love that last picture ...there's many more pics that are just beautiful if you follow the link but the expression on that guys face is about the most classic i've ever seen .

while the world worries about oil, bank bail outs & Wall Street making money .....these people just simply celebrating each other and life's awesome color & beauty . We live in a shining , resplendent universe of light ...even a child can see it & knows it .

IC could use a few more positive threads , instead of cop shootings
and busts & all the negativity .

Do know that largest gatherings in the world of people in one place , for the celebration of life's sacredness & beauty was noted by the greeks over in India in those gatherings by the river Ganges ...recorded some 300yrs BCE .

That record still stands today when over 50million gathered at the Ganges for the last Purna Kumbha Mela gathering to wash away the old baggage & cleanse their souls . Gives new meaning to the song " Take Me To The River " ya think ?

* Interesting quote by Mark Twain written after he experienced Kumbha Mela in 1895, over 115 years back , "telling it like it is" as good old Sam was prone to do

"It is wonderful, the power of a faith like that, that can make multitudes upon multitudes of the old and weak and the young and frail enter without hesitation or complaint upon such incredible journeys. It is done in love, or it is done in fear; I do not know which it is. No matter what the impulse is, the act born of it is beyond imagination, marvelous to our kind of people, the cold whites."

I'm sure its fun but I don't think I'd want to inhale all that paint dust and it getting in my eyes and stuff.

I guess I'm a lil too much like Mr. Pilkington.
