Landscapes Rajasthan/India


Dusk at Ranakpur. 

A farmhouse on the hillside.


One tree hill.

The man with the orange turban.


In a garden at Udaipur - what a difference water makes.

A park at the mosque in Delhi.

Sunset in Mandawa.


Looking up into the mango tree in Ranakpur.

The lake at Jaiselmer.

Fascinating though the landscape is, the people are even more so.

  8. wow..that's a lot of travelling but I am sure you are having a fantastic time..very nice landscaping but I am drawn to those saris worn by the women as usual, the colours and texture is too beautiful.

  11. Oh, such a treat! More stunning photographs. The top three make me think of the Spanish hinterland beyond Grenada.

    I would love to spend a YEAR in India just in order to absorb it all in all it's nuances and lights.

  14. It is interesting elizabeth how many of the landscapes could be in the UK - maybe it is because you are up in the hills and it is cooler. I agree it is the people who are interesting, but isn;t that always the case. I have relaly enjoyed your trip round India from the comfort of my armchair.

    You certainly covered some miles.

  16. The landscape looks so very much like the American Southwest. Love the farmhouse! And you are right--the people are so very fascinating, colorful clothes and wondeful smiles.

  17. Hi Elizabeth, what a GREAT reportage with wonderful photos you did!
    I found your blog through Merisi and I am glad I did.

    As I see that you love India, I think you will like to know Rauf's blog:
    Daylight Again. It's a wonderful blog.

    Kind regards, from Sonia, São Paulo, Brazil.

  20. Love the pictures of dusk and sunset... you know, thats why I love to live in different places, with a consciousness that I will leave... it helps me absorb the place into myself in a short time, without the complacence that oh! I have all my life to explore this place... I am from these parts of India, and you have captured a lot more of North India than I have in my life so far!

  21. Wow, what amazing photos - such colour, such vibrancy that jumps out of the picture.

    Thanks for popping into my blog and I have come over to yours and have been scrolling back and back through all these photos. The blog title "About New York" maybe should be now "About India"!

  22. That's a huge distance to travel in 15 days. Are you exhausted?

    Beautiful photos, thank you.

    How lovely to wear such bright colours everyday.

  23. Yes, one needs time to let the landscapes fully anchor themselves to the heart, but what awesome photos to go back to and discover what the eyes might have missed. The "one tree hill" reminds me of the south of Portugal. Did you dress in those type of colorful fabrics in India? I wonder if/how walking around in a bright sari would change one's prespective of everything around?
