Cows
Yea, theres a lot of cows walkin and chillin in India. It’s kind of amazing to see these creatures rule the chaotic roads. There’s times when one sits in the middle of the street and cars will slowly go around em without any road rage. These tame and peaceful creatures have a lot of power in the mothership. I had to take some portraits….

I found this at the image library a while back and scanned it in, there were no details on this one.
Nixon brought Arbor Day to a federal level in 1970, a variation of that happens in India called ‘The National Festival of Tree Planting.’ I’m guessing this picture has to do something with that, maybe?
