Scenes in Sepia (8)

Jaipur had to be my favourite place. It's so filled with a sense of history that the spirit of the Moghul Empire seems tangible there. Also known as the Pink City because of the pink colour of the local sandstone. The Pink City now forms part of the Old City. As you go further out and upwards into the palaces in the hills, you get the Yellow City, home to the Amber Fort. A truly marvelous structure. I will upload close up pics of the walls of the Fort which were taken with an ordinary compact so that the detail in the artistry can be seen.








India is not complete until you've been to Jaipur.
