neighbourhood's a runway
my first impressions of pondicherry were not the best, i arrived tired and hungry with the only place to stay a cursed room full of mosquitos. but after walking around the following day the place started to grow on me, and i soon moved to the charming french quarter where the architecture was different, the streets were cleaner and crucially my new room had ac and zero mosquitoes. by this stage my friend had flown back to london, so with my holiday officially over i spent the following week getting back up to speed with work. but i still made a point of walking around the streets and promenade where there was a steady flow of indian tourists who appeared equally enamoured by the charm.
i wanted to take a picture of the pier at the end of the promenade, however as soon as i took out my ac chilled camera the lens immediately fogged up. i've learned that there's nothing you can really do about this except wait for it to acclimatise to the ambient temperature, so i waited around longer than planned. a happy coincidence was that my lens finally defogged at the same time a bus load of tourists arrived, and the women who were all dressed in colourful saris walked to and from the waters edge like models on a catwalk - here's another shot from the fashion shoot
