The Barber at Dawn - a photo on Flickriver

The Barber at Dawn

“And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.”
(From the Bible)

This was shot at the other side of the Ganges , on the road leading to Ramnagar which faces Varanasi (Benaras).
The barber was shaving under a tree where an amazing light was finding its way through the leaves.
It was still early in the morning and all around it was easy to feel the first appearance of daylight in the day.
