Construction techniques in India involve a lot more manual labour - one of the effects of being in a less-developed country where labour is cheap. Scaffolding on building sites typically consists of bamboo or wooden poles tied together, as shown in this photo, where wooden scaffolding adorns a multi-storey construction site.

Here is a set of street scenes from Bangalore, photographed a few weeks ago. I found black and white post-processing worked quite well on these photos.

The streets of Bangalore are so different from what I'm used to in Western Australia - with the lack of regard for road rules, constant honking of horns, auto-rickshaws, and many more motorbikes than what I'm used to. Crossing the road was always a bit tricky, but there was always plenty to see on the roads and on the sides of the roads.

This collection of photos was taken on a weekend, near some markets in the Jayanagar area, just south of the Bangalore city centre, in Karnataka, India.

I recently spent a couple of weeks in Bangalore, India, on a business trip. On the weekend, I spent a lot of time walking around on the streets, enjoying the sights. This young boy was with his mother and older sister, who were selling trinkets on the street, and I took this photo of him as he was playing with a motorbike helmet.
