Orchha
Ah, India |
How I feel most days |
I just ate this stuff up |
I should find out what they are |
Bathers |
The vultures, which are everywhere, add to the Wizard of Oz feel to the place |
Big, big birds |
They're everywhere |
There are only a few clusters of ruins, but they are worth going to see |
The countryside, which you can get good photos of from the roofs of the ruins, is sparse and beautiufl |
|
Lots of little ruins around too, not just the major ones |
Temple |
Painting inside the Laxmi temple |
More |
I think he was there to amuse the tourists, of which there were none |
The road to the Laxmi temple |
Stopped at this guy's temple and he made me tea, in a flurry of activity |
and deep concentration |
He showed me this shrine |
He lives here, it seems |
Ah, India |
Morning bathing |
The sun has baked them the perfect color, same as the Dakota on Central Park West |
|
Vultures, ruins, holy men, what more can you ask for in a holiday destination? |
From the roof of one of the ruins |
|
More paintings |
Feigning ennui |
This guy was pretty cool |
Bird |
Little ruin |
Farmers |
Nice palace door |
Seen not through branches |
Courtyard |
Outside the Ram Temple |
Quite a lively scene |
Lots going on |
Bangels |
Sadhu conclave |
Mass Transit |
I don't know how those guys got up this one. I NEVER found the stairway |
