Pushkar views

Pushkar is a tiny little town surrounding a sacred lake. It's quite small, but also quite sweet. There are a lot of westerners there so it's pretty easy to get comfortable there. Here are some views of the town and the surrounding desert.

Christmas in Jaipur

Santa made it to Jaipur!
Jaipur is loud and obnoxious and i didn't really like it. I am not sure if it really was the place, or the flu that i developed while i was there, but regardless i left after a 2 days. I met a nice girl named Virginia from Brazil, who lives in New York, but is traveling around India, who also didn't like Jaipur, so we went to Pushkar. That sentence sounds more confusing than it really is.




Here is a little video of a taxi ride in Jaipur. Instead of music, try to imagine a constant stream of honking and shouting. That's basically travel in Jaipur.

People in Action

Here are some shots of day to day life over here. In some ways it's similar, but in many it most certainly is not.

COWS!!!

Cows wander the streets seemingly aimlessly over here. Its quite funny and i often wonder where they are heading off to. They move with a grace that doesn't quite fit their huge body and it makes it quite fun to watch them wandering about. If i am bored with people watching and can't find any monkeys, then cows make for quite entertaining viewing.

Flowers and Fields

Just some flower selects.

Black and White Brindaban

Here are some black and whites from the back alleys and such of Vrindaban. I really like the over saturation of color over here, but quite often the black and white tells a better story
