So! after all these years India finally happed in 2004 and then once again in 2005 … to compare one journey to the next seems unfair, so I express myself best by naming these journeys as I would a child … no favorites here I confess, have loved them all differently and deeply. At present a myriad selection of architectural images, are from Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Ahmedabad.
