Photographer's Note
The british heritage in Mumbai you can see everywhere.
Mumbai of today is a bustling 20-million people megacity. It is as charming as charismatic. It’s India’s past, present and future mixed into one overpopulated, irrepressibly vibrant whole.
The British heritage is strong in Mumbai. The first economic boom came during the American Civil War and Mumbai then took the chance to take over as the worlds main supplier of cotton. An economic boom followed and a building frenzy started in Mumbai resulting in many Victorian styled houses and palaces. Walking around the Colaba district on the southern tip of the city, sometimes feels like being in a tropical London.

Hi Serghei,
A well chosen POV that includes this impressive building as well as parts of palmtrees hanging down as parts of the frame. Many fine details to enjoy along this facade. An excellent sharpness too!
Kind regards

Добрый вечер
Прекрасные, богато украшенные храм, и, возможно, разные, светские здания. Великая фоторамка с пальмовыми листьями. Красивые цветы и совершенное резкость.

Priviet Serghei,
original photo from Mumbai. I like this low POC. The leaves give great depth. Interesting building with oriental and Victorian elements. Good job. For me, Mumbai was too busy, overpopulated. I liked it but it was tiresome.
Warm regards

Hi Serghei
That is the British heritage, even the colonial time was not so easy for the Indian population, but there are some fine architectural "souvenirs" from that time. Fine framing and execution - well done. Thanks for your critique of my Laksa kitchen.
Warm regards
