Shadow Shot Sunday/India


Leaves reflected on a wall. Mandawa.


Tourists a the pink palace at Bikaner. 
Historical note: The Maharajah of Bikaner was one of the people who signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. THere are two portraits of him in the National Portrait gallery in London.

  1. The music that was playing on my playlist took me right along with you on your travels, at one point I could've been riding an elephant in this exotic land! The textures and colors are fantastic...thank you so much for the tour!!!

    Do I have an over-active imagination...

    Have a great day!

  2. Hello there Elizabeth! Such a diverse selection of shadows you've shared. I really like that first one of the shadow leaves on the wall. I've been enjoying your India posts. So you are still there? You've been away for ages it seems. How lucky you are to be having such fun adventures. I'm very jealous! :D

  5. I love archways - I have a real thing about them. That table cloth is beautiful and in honour of your blog I'm wearing a long Indian robe today (I think the fact I've over-eaten also plays a big part in this:)

    How long are you in India for?

  15. Why are the pictures on the wall crooked? Or perhaps that is just my tired eyes?

    I love that pink is so ubiquitous in India.
