[norwest]

In three parts with links to parts 2 & 3. Many brilliant photo journalist shots with some quite confronting, so, be warned.

Great photos. I was interested to see the photo of the leopard attack in Guwahati, the capital of Assam. I was there only a few weeks ago and when travelling was informed that leopards are quite common in the tea gardens (plantations) there. I took this with my normal skepticism, but it seems that it was probably right. Guwahati is a big city.

Some thought provoking images there - thanks for posting.
