India Photo Tour Day Four and Five

November 23 & 24, 2012

Jaipur.

Enroute to Jaipur we visiting the Juin Temple in Ajmer.  Our visit started to the city by having our second Tuk Tuk experience.  Tuk Tuk are these mini three wheel taxis that can move you through the city streets very quickly.  We spent some time photographing inside the temple then on to Jaipur.  And I might add as always many other interesting images were captured of the urban life here.

Our photo shoots took us all over Jaipur, including stamping art, and carpet weaving.  Then the following morning we were off early to visit the Palace of the Winds and then on to the Amber Fort for an elephant ride to the top.  We then spent time photographing the fort prior to heading to Palace of the Lake, the observatory and Jaipur market place.

That’s it for this evening and the blog is up to date and tomorrow we are out by 8:00 to drive to Ranthambore National Park.  We will be starting the Safari portion of our tour.  We have three game drives in search of photographing the tiger over our two day stay.

Good Night from Jaipur.
