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

Good luck on this wonderful initiative, folks. It would be fantastic to have many more good images of your fascinating city!
fyi: you might want to put this up on the India mailing list as well - because some folks might be on that list but not on the West Bengal list.
Warm Regards,
hisham

It is open to all, Wikimedians or non-wikimedians, anybody canparticipate with camera or without camera.
We will meet at the CSTC bus stand of Esplanade, Kolkata at sharp6:55 am on 18th December, 2011.
After having a cup of tea we will start to north up to Victoriabuilding, then turn left towards Dalhousie area up to Strand road, then Aakasbani Bhaban and return to Chittada’s tea shop to have tea again with snacks. Total time required is about 2.5 to 3 hours.
I suggest please bring a note book and pen to write down thedetails of whatever (s)he photographed for uploading purpose.
