This is taken from the Baby Taj, precurser to the Taj Mahal both in Agra, India. Both buildings were clad head to toe in patterns, made with precious stones inlaid into the marble. A backbreaking and laborious technique, which produces incredible results - hang on, what does that remind me of?!
This was a pattern on the roof which I loved, slightly worn, but somehow that adds to it...
Sand dunes near Jaisalmer, I'd just got off a camel when I took this, the sun was setting making it easier to distinguish the sandy ripples.
Baby Taj again....
Baby Taj's younger, but much bigger brother, the Taj Mahal. Has to be seen in person to be believed, and even then it's difficult to take it all in.
This is Jodhpur, Rajistan, India, taken from the fort looking down on the city.
Pastry shop, McLoed Ganj - home to the Dali Lama (not this house though! He's got a much nicer one up the road).
Shimla, another hill town in Northern India - I have no idea what these silver boxes were for, but there were a lot of them and they were the brightest things for miles around.
Jodhpur again - if you had fifty photos like this you wouldn't have got it all in, humungous.
