Before we even step into the Monkey Temple I spy this tree. To me it seems to have some significance. I don’t know what it is. The brightly colored offerings under it seem important, but they could also just be laundry. At this point in the trip I had been there just long enough to read … More Magical Tree
It continued to surprise me what a spectacle we were in this country. This little girl stopped next to our bus on her way home from school just to check us out and get her picture taken. Here fear is replaced with curiosity. Nice lesson.
Some of my favorite shots are the drive-bys. They are not always the sharpest, but I’m always happily surprised when what I saw is what I get. For some reason, this gentleman standing sentry outside this seemingly abandoned building intrigued me. I also really like the juxtaposition of the finely decorated doors and marble steps against … More Sentry

As we walked through the spice market we were greeted with the most enticing aromas of food being prepared, hot peppers in the open air and … More Spicey Start
Most of our arrivals in India we at night after a significant day of travel. Jaipur was no different. In that way. In every other way it was like going to a completely new country. Our first morning was to be a ride into the Pink City to check out the spice market and other … More Pink City
