[Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-WB] Kolkata Photo Walk (Esplanade & Dalhousie)

[Kalyan Sarkar]

Folks,

We are organizing a Photo Walk in Kolkata on 18th December 2011 (Sunday)
morning. We'll cover the central business districts of Dalhousie
(B.B.D.Bag) and Esplanade (Dharmatala). Everyone is welcome to the event.

We are still finalizing the list of buildings and architectures that we
would like to cover. Therefore, any suggestions regarding the event are
welcome.

Thanks and regards,
Kalyan Sarkar
