TOWARDS DESTINATION

Uploaded: March 31, 2006 08:57:35

Description

This image was taken at a village near Gohana on the first sunshine of the day. People rushing towards the road side to catch the first bus so that to reach town earlier and sell their commodities in the market.
This is my resubmit in catagory Travel & Place. Slightly straightend the horizon.
