The reincarnation of the camera

In Pushkar we met our friend from Vipassana - Albina. We never spoke to each other in the 10 days of meditation but developed a great sympathy towards each other afterwards.

After some days in Pushkar Karolina's camera disappeared (probably it just had to be, as it went through many bad experiences already), but we were lucky: Albina is a photographer, so we have some shots of Pushkar.

On this photo Albina and a weird local who was probably hugging her to passionately..

Only one example of Pushkar's fairytale architecture.











A small lake in a very holy area not far from Pushkar, a complex of temples dedicated to Shiva.
There were many Sadhus on pilgrimage.









Hre we are on a camel car with an indian family that told us their story. Albina made a photo reportage about their tragic situation in order to help them. They are now with no real place to stay - they live in a tent- because they had to sell almost everything they had to cure a serious illness of the youngest son. (If you read this Albina, give us a link where we can whatch more of your photos!).




After Pushkar we went to Bundi - a beautiful little town with palaces and a great fort. Unluckily there are no photos from that period. Our next stop was Udaipur and seeing all that beauty we couldn't resist: We bought a camera!

This is a view from the rooftop restaurant of our guesthouse in Udaipur.

















In the room - the magic window...


















... and from that window, the indian street life.


















Cow porno! (Filippo's shot - he is very proud of it :)












We made an excursion to a nearby village, Dungajpur...


















...to visit a very old -700 years old- palace. This is the view from the terrace of the palace on the blue village.











The village through a coloured window of the palace.












The interior of the palace was tremendous. Decorations varied in every room - this is the queen's chamber.

















Monsters...


















...and more monsters :)













We opened a small door of what seemed to be a simple closet, and discovered a whole collection of Kamasutra paintings!
This is just one little example for you, but we have all the paintings in our camera :)









Now we are saying goodbye to that very romantic city of Udaipur and are on our way to Jodhpur to visit indian friends we met in Goa in November. Let's see how the real indian life looks!
