Tenby Camera Club members Paul Richards and Liz Wallis gave a super presentation to club on the 20th January. They have travelled twice to India taking in the wildlife, landscapes and the lifestyle during 5 weeks of touring . Illustrated with their stunning photography, we visited places such as Keoladeo National Park to see tigers and all manner of bird and animal life , then to Bharatpur . Bharatpur is less touristy so they were able to connect with the local population to understand the life patterns and social life . It was obvious the people were very welcoming and friendly .
A very inspirational talk, capturing the essence of a diverse nation.
