Monsoons and Floods - Black and White Thursdays

For years since the dawn of time the seasonal Monsoon rains have played an important part in giving water to all things living in South Asia which includes countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives. But, when extra rain pours down, floods come. This picture depicts one such flood which arrives every year in the Indian State of Orissa (Odisha) (a part of the Gangetic Plains) affecting life, destroying crops and damaging property. Because of its repeated occurrence it becomes an immortal picture and finds a place in this edition of Black and White Thursdays.
