The new highway in Nagapattinam a coastal fishing town, with old fishing boats

This picture clearly shows the rapid growth in India. The highway bridge being built across the backwaters is an infrastucture development project undetaken by the government in the hope that India's rapid growth will reach its poor. The outdated fishing boats in the foreground show how fast the change is .

The picture above is my creation and it appears in the article about nagapattinam.

Yes, but I didn't want to revert the original uploader's file. He must have had some reason why he didn't want the high res version included. In any case, the sky (and parts of the bridge) are still blown out badly on the left. Also, I don't think the picture "clearly shows the rapid growth in India," as the nominator claims. As it stands, the image is simply a picture of an under-construction bridge. Bridges can be built (in fact, they usually are built) for reasons other than rapid growth.-- moondigger 15:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
