India 2005

This gallery displays some of my favorite images from a trip to India in January 2005. It is currently a work in progress due to the large number of images to sort through.
Some are carefully composed and some are "bus window" pictures taken on the fly. Enjoy what I saw and what captured my imagination. I welcome comments, and corrections as to names and sites if I have incorrectly identified any images.

Awesome pics.
But looks like you visited North India more. What about Mumbai?
You should visit the South too. Did you visit Kerala? Hyderabad? or How about the North-east? Sikkim?
And what about the awesome GOA?!!
Do visit them next time you come to India!

A friend sent me the link to this URL. I LOVE your pictures ... I grew up in India, (now live in the US) and really didn't appreciate it until I left. I never noticed the vivid colors ... thanks for reminding me of a country that I know I need to return to, again and again.
