What can I say other than this place is amazing. Who else has pots of chai this big?! It’s not just that, it’s all of the people who come here to be of service.

Wow! This is truly beautiful!
You always produce stunning pictures. Very nice post Emily 🙂
Wow great photos. India and it’s people look so beautiful
These pictures were stunning! As a Sikh, whenever I go to India, the Golden Temple is a stop I always make. It’s breathtaking. It’s one of my favourite places to visit. The people, the atmosphere, the history are all so rich and welcoming, that I long to visit it every year. You’re really lucky to have gone. Many people never get a chance to visit and sit down and take in all the spirituality. You really captured the beauty of this sacred place. The Golden Temple is such an amazing place to visit and you can see its essence and life in each picture. It’s fantastic! Keep up the great work! 🙂
Thank you for such a kind message! I’m glad you get to go too! It is an amazing place…

You take the most beautiful pictures capturing the moment perfectly. You are an inspiration to me to get my camera out and keep taking pictures. I am a beginner photographer and your style of photography is what I want to be able to match (some day).
