Agra Blue Motion (original cinemagraph)

The walls along the city streets and rooftops of Agra are richly colored in a various shades of blue. Nevermind the cows in the street, I photographed goats and cows halfway inside a household doorways and many other things that I shall not mention. After your first visit to India, all of this just becomes quite normal as it is for the residents of the city.

An interesting phenomenon that I noticed was that the dogs in this section of town seemed to all be up off of the ground level. I saw dogs up on a vendor cart and this one perched on ledge sticking out of an old brick facade of a house. The colors of India are simply endless. Every woman starts her day completely color coordinated wearing saris with impossible color combinations that just seem to work - stuff you couldn't have imagined. Yes, back to the dog, my guess is that they are antagonized by vermin when napping or apt to be stepped on or crushed during heavier traffic times of the day.

Whatever the reason they seek these perches, I found it to be rather unique to this city as I've not noticed it elsewhere in all of my travels. Dogs in Thailand sleep and sit in the street. Dogs in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam end up... wait nevermind.

This was created from a single photograph that was then digitally painted and animated.
