Remarkable portraits Jayanand

Vivid colours and scorching sun; you fared very well.

What strikes me is my inability to "date" these persons, no pun  
intended. I have no reference whatsovever of how old they might be.

The featured lady is a beauty apart - a sort of grace rarely  
encountered, good eye my friend.

Thanks for the two series, men and ladies.

I really enjoy travelling in your footsteps.

Amiti?s
