On the way to the Shiva temple. Junagadh

They were coming by feet from Himachal Pradesh, owners of nothing. We started together , but I was often stopping for shoting, everytime when I joined them again they said "how can you be so fast! We finally climb together. The problem is that you have to climb and climb to the top and you finally discover that you have to go down and up again to reach this temple (you see it on top of the hill).very friendly and intelligent people.
