Holy Cow
A young cow in a back alley in Jodhpur, India. The cow had stopped and stared right back at me as I stopped to take its picture. The sign is also a wonderful gem; I wish I had gone to village restaurant. The bright blue backdrop is a dead giveaway as to what city in Rajasthan I visited.

The Blue City
The lore of how Jodhpur became painted blue is based in the belief that by painting buildings hues of indigo, the city would be cooler and the mosquitoes would stay away. The blue paint began as a status symbol for the Brahmin caste, but spread quickly amongst the homes of Jodhpur. This view is from the Mehrangarh Fort, which overlooks the entire city.

Auto-rickshaw Ride in Jodhpur
Travel in Indian cities is an amazing experience. Traffic is always a gamble, especially when you depend on a little two-stroke engine to get you through it. In this photograph, we were trying to coordinate a sort of rickshaw convoy back to the hotel. The driver was amazing, and eventually, we managed to tuk-tuk our way back, but the ride took a lot of patience and faith in accommodating traffic.

Agra's Secret
Behind the Taj Mahal, I found this scene. The rear of the Taj overlooks the Yamuna River, one of the major tributaries to the holy Ganges. In a place that sees thousands of tourists daily, I found something beautiful that could go unnoticed.
