How beautifully atmospheric.
Your (second/once removed?) cousin is due here in a couple of hours after travelling in India. I shall point her at this page the minute she gets over the jet-lag
....and I forgot to say, the kite makes it (in every sense, I hope).
So envious of your beautiful sunset shot. I'm totally thrilled with India but have failed to capture it with your skill.
P.E.A., thank you. It doesn't pay to think too closely about what gives that (literal) atmosphere its, well, atmosphere. Some of it might be dust; I doubt water vapour makes much contribution, given Jodhpur's in the middle of the desert; in short, I think it's a safe bet most of it arises from human activity.
I never tired of seeing those kites (and other birds).
Diana, I'm so pleased you enjoyed India. I only got to see a small part of it but I think about it often. Photos are all well and good, but they're no substitute for real things; for intense moments; for memories.
