Kashi, the City of Light (Varanasi, India 2015)
{"Image ImageDescription": "Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Benaras, is the cultural capital of India. Varanasi is a melting pot, where both death and life come together. Dating to the 11th century B.C. (that\u2019s over 3000 years!), this is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities. It draws Hindu pilgrims who bathe in the Ganges River\u2019s sacred waters and perform funeral rites. Along the city's winding streets are some 2,000 temples, including Kashi Vishwanath, the \u201cGolden Temple,\u201d dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.  Lonely Planet describes the city as \u201cone of the most blindingly colorful, unrelentingly chaotic and unapologetically indiscreet places on earth\u201d. Not everyone is prepared to visit this incredible city, where the circle of life overpowers all of your senses. My local guide\u2019s words sum if it perfectly: you don\u2019t visit Varanasi, you live Varanasi. It was truly a life-changing experience for me.", "Image Make": "Canon", "Image Model": "Canon EOS-1D X", "Image XResolution": "240", "Image YResolution": "240", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 7.2 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2018:03:24 21:21:53", "Image Artist": "Alex Stoen", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered", "Image Copyright": "\u00a9 2018 Alex Stoen", "Image ExifOffset": "1228", "GPS GPSVersionID": "[2, 3, 0, 0]", "GPS GPSLatitudeRef": "N", "GPS GPSLatitude": "[25, 18, 5741/100]", "GPS GPSLongitudeRef": "E", "GPS GPSLongitude": "[83, 1, 229/20]", "Image GPSInfo": "1558", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/50", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Manual", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "1600", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0231", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2015:01:28 19:30:01", "EXIF ComponentsConfiguration": "YCbCr", "EXIF ApertureValue": "7961/8200", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "0", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode", "EXIF FocalLength": "50", "EXIF FlashPixVersion": "0100", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Manual Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Auto", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF BodySerialNumber": "103016000435", "EXIF LensModel": "EF50mm f/1.4 USM", "EXIF LensSerialNumber": "0000000000"}
