      <image:title>Blog - India Motorcycles - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Motorcycles are a main mode of transportation in India. On our visit, we were surprised to see so many people with bare feet. One of the men explained to us that on certain Hindu religious days, the practitioners of that religion forgo the wearing of shoes out of respect to their gods. There could certainly be other reasons that people choose to not wear shoes, but I thought that was an interesting explanation for some of the folks. (By Melanie Patterson)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 2014, I accompanied some friends to India. They were adopting a little girl from an orphanage, and asked me to come along to take photos. On one of the visits to the orphanage, the children were practicing for their Christmas program. Here, they practice a beautiful dance in preparation for their performance.
