Daily Life In Kashmir, India

A Kashmiri man paddles his boat as he travels from his floating house that rests on the backwaters along Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, India, on June 26, 2010. To circumvent laws preventing land ownership many Kashmiri residents live in floating houses on man-made floating land along the backwaters of Dal Lake. Though it is illegal the Indian government does not usually take action against those who live on the man-made floating land on Dal Lake. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
