A hazy morning view across a wide river toward a steel truss bridge with arched spans on concrete piers. Wooded riverbank and low buildings line the far shore, with sandy ghats and a few small boats moored near the water's edge. Choppy dark water fills the foreground under a pale sky. No people are clearly visible.

A wide view of the Ganga river at Varanasi taken from a boat on a hazy morning. Choppy grey-blue water fills the foreground. On the left bank, a ghat with stone steps, a white temple spire and a few small buildings stands among trees. A long steel truss bridge with arched girders and concrete piers crosses the river to the right. The sky is pale and washed out. No people are clearly visible.

A wooden rowing boat with a dark hull drifts on a hazy river beneath a long steel truss bridge with arches and concrete piers. Four men sit in the boat: two monks in maroon and red robes with shaved heads, one in a light brown shirt and trousers, and a boatman in an orange-red shirt at the oar. One monk holds a camera to his face. The scene suggests a boat outing on the Ganga in Varanasi.
