The woeful state of a camel at the Pinjore Gardens, Haryana, India. Obviously, animals can't speak (their pains); this one couldn't even open its mouth to let out a cry.

Very beautiful picture. In front of Pinjore Garden, beggars and camels represent the sorry state of our country.
ReplyDeleteWhere art thou, animal welfare activists?
ReplyDeletetx for ur feedback and appreciation...
ReplyDeleteits the same old story - 70-75% of the sorry state of India is in the remote rural areas; 90% of the activists are in the developed urban areas!
Sad scene, but excellent photography.

ReplyDeleteFantatisc shot...;D
ReplyDeleteThat is heart-wrenching! A beautiful capture of a tragedy!
ReplyDeletethank you Rejen and Gemma
ReplyDeleteA beautifully composed shot so full of detail and interest for the viewer. I am wondering if the hand crocheted mask is used to keep the camel from spitting on people...why else...they do not bite, do they? Genie
ReplyDeletethanks so much Genie.
ReplyDeleteu cud be right, though, honestly ive not seen camels spit on people though they do salivate a lot. back in india, the way some owners treat they, they tend to let out very loud cries, which is why i think the mask is being used in this case.
Great photo!
