Shadow Shot Sunday/ Jaipur/India



For other shadowshots go here.


Since it hasn't been very sunny here lately, two photos
of Jaipur, India, taken in March. The first was taken in
Jantar Mantar,the Observatory, built in 1728,  which has building that 
resemble strange sculptures --and cast pretty cool shadows.


Here a family tour the battlements of the Tiger Fort
set high above the city with distant views of the lake.

    Why are the colours so much more subtle in your India photographs? Do you think it is the quality of light?

    Beautiful photos. We don't put enough curves in our architecture over here. I love the curves.

    Super shadow shots. The second one with the soft fuzzy trees in the corner and gorgeous colours is lovely! Thanks so much for your regular shadow shots. And an extra big thanks for being the inspiration behind SSS in the first place Elizabeth! You may not remember that, but you were :) Hope you have a lovely week ahead and you're enjoying your nice spring weather xo

    the angle of the top shot is perfect, makes all the lines of the subject even more interesting

    and the colors and light in the 2nd shot are so lovely

    Such unusual pink, softly curving architecture, and so many steps, those in the background seeming to go nowhere! And all that provides nice shadows. Thanks for visiting.

    How beautiful! It's interesting to see the juxtaposition of the older walls and the more modern staircases (then, maybe they are old, too, but look new?).
