Photos from India

Here are pictures, in no particular order (actually kind of backwards) because I am a technological idiot, sorry. A crowded street market in Ahmedebad, where people shop by ancient city walls
Moghul architecture- the Red fort in Delhi.

Detail of the Taj Majal. Below, clothes spread out to dry around the tents where people live by the side of the road in Agra (location of the Taj Majal)
Detail of stone gratework and stone inlay at the "baby Taj" (an earlier building in the same style as the BIG Taj)in Agra
a group of kids who we found playing in the dry river bed beneath the Taj Majal's riverside location.

The Taj Majal in all its glory- it is huge.

A camel in Udaipur, all dressed up.

A traditional Rajastani dance performance in Udaipur. Vendors amid a crowd of pigeons in the old city of Jaipur.

A saree shop in Jaipur- amazing color.

A vendor at a train station- I took this photo out the tinted train window.

The Gateway to India in Bombay/Mumbai.

Thali- an Indian all-you-can-eat plate that is delicious! The waiters keep bringing you food and bread until you can't eat another bite, and then they keep bringing it.

A street scene in Ahmedebad gives a sense of how crowded and colorful the cities are!

Part of the lake palace in Udaipur .

Girls at a dance school in Chennai/Madras.

Detail of the temple at Madurai- see the monkey? The temples always seemed to be covered with monkeys.
