India Cows

It wasn´t until I got to Rishikesh that I understood why the cow is considered holy by Hindus. Which is strange since it is so obvious; it is a truly beautiful, serene and magnificent animal. When I realized the beauty of the cow, it became my new “photo-project”. Every time I saw a cow (which is rather often in India, they are everywhere; all the time) I started rummaging in my bag looking for the camera (I got soooo many pictures of cows now!). People probably thought I was a nutter since I showed such a fascination for the cows and was constantly taking pictures of them. It didn’t take me long to realize that if you put a camera in front of a cow he wants to smell it, which leads to an (according to me) awesome picture (if you manage to click it in that millisecond when it turns out well).

 

Anyhow, here are some of my favorite pictures!

 

 
 
 
 
 
Not a good picture but figured I had to include him since we did get to third base. Not much of manners though since he did try to undress me in public..
