Jaipur/Rajastan

Am drive to Jaipur
Amber Fort

Friend Effie who joined our tour


Mirror palace wall




The pink city
City Palace




Lake Palace
A tractor is on the front, two lanes-crazy

Rajastan is a state of amazing natural beauty. The drive from Delhi is gorgeous. The wall surrounding the Amber fort is like a miniature Great Wall along the hills. All of the women are dressed in the brightest colors against the desert backdrop. Effie joined our tour and it was fun getting to know her. The drive back is the worst traffic we have EVER seen. Lucky to be alive. Two lanes full of top heavy ready to tip semis. We were glad to arrive at the airport safely in time for our flight.

I love the doorway shots. You should frame those.
