Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

The Indian sun beats down fiercely during the day throughout the famous Pushkar Camel Festival in Rajasthan, India. In the midst of the thousands of camels that have been brought together for the fair, a small white building stands like an oasis in the desert. It's the "Sunset Point," the unofficial name for a local family that sells cold drinks and hot chai in the middle of the desert heat. One of the sons, Damodel, was a serious kid when it came to the business of selling drinks, but all fun when it came to hanging out with his family's visitors. This is my farewell shot of Damodel.
