This picture is from the city lake again.
First off – what caught my eye was the orange turban this man in the picture wore, which shone brighter than the equatorial summer sun against the backdrop of sparkling water. And then as his boat got closer to the shore where I was standing, I was quickly reminded just how friendly and pleasant to talk to these locals in Umred are.
Not only did he allow me to take his picture (which I am thankful for) but he also posed for the camera. Not every person in Umred has the best in the world but in spite of that most are full of life and carry a certain pride.
Their warmth and friendliness without any hidden agendas or expectations can lift anyone’s spirit.
