For work I get to visit India once in a while. I always go out to shoot some nice photos ... but this one was just shot from the roof top of my office. Somehow I've always liked this picture. Lot's of stuff to discover.

Looks like they're putting in several buildings there. Lots of moving parts, lots of busy people in machines, and lots of interesting details. An uncommon view of a construction site. Thanks.

A very "busy" photo. But this time "busy" is good - it is what the subject is about. Great detail - picks up all the things that are going on. And as a whole, the photo works - there is an unmistakable message of "we are doing something major here".

An interesting scene - why would you want to go anywhere else?

Thanks - sometimes I look at the photo to try and figure out their process.

Hopefully I can soon return to the same location; curious to see the progress.

To shoot some street scenes, like these.

Those machines look tiny, just how high up was the roof of the building? Looks like you're right on the edge of town at this angle. Definitely seems to be a lot going on down there. Be curious to see an after shot when you next go back.

I think about 14 stories up + the construction side was excavated. The wide angle make everything look further away as well.

Yes - thinking back I was taking a bit too much risk ... I definitely crossed the safety zone.
