Photo by Pete McBride (pedrodmcbride) | Source to sea, chasing the sacred. Years ago I traveled the length of the Ganges River, some 1,500 miles (2,400 km) across India, from the Himalaya to the Bay of Bengal. We documented and took water samples of this lifeline for natgeo. The journey opened my eyes to the wonders of such waterways—and how quickly we take freshwater for granted—even in our most storied, sacred rivers. To see the film I co-directed with mountainworld— "Ganges Red Alert" (in India) or "Holy (un)Holy River" (U.S. title)— or more on water, follow pedromcbride. #holyunholyriverfilm #ganga #india #unpublished #photography #water #petemcbride
