26th February 2014 (Day 18) Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India
This is the square where we dismounted from the horses and carts, with a magnificent horse and rider ambling through.
.
It is just after 6pm and sunset is approaching, though there wasn’t much of a sunset this night.
.
All of these images are taken in the next hour and around half of them after dark.

Incense shop.

Most of our party disappeared into a Fabrics shop but I remained outside, photographing on the street in the receding light.

.
Probably confectionary.
.
Preparing flowers and garlands for a festival the next day….
.
By this point I had stationed myself in full view on the corner of a small busy intersection, photographing people and events as they passed by. I stayed there for the remaining images.

Tuk-tuk doubles as a truck.

Make way for the donkeys!

Did you manage to drink some lassi? For the horrible heat?

I did have some Lassi earlier but I’m more used to the sweet kind. I was a bit taken aback to find it could come with lots of salt. The next time I knew what to ask for. It wasn’t hot, though. For the whole trip it was between 20 and 24 degrees Centigrade.

That’s it? It’s 47.2 centigrade here in Delhi! I prefer salted lassi. And, as a proud Punjabi, I must say that we Punjabis make the best lassi 🙂

Woooo. That’s way too hot, especially in a huge city like Delhi where the pollution is going to kick in as well. I live in Canberra where it gets up to max 42 centigrade but I come from Auckland which is very mild and moderate and doesn’t go above 30. I prefer it below 35.
Maybe salted lassi works better in the heat. I didn’t get to Punjab. Maybe another time.

Thanks very much Vicki. It was a remarkable spectacle though just everyday life at the same time.

A wonderful snapshot of life going on around the street and love the one of the woman on the donkey. It looks like she is talking into a mobile phone 🙂

Well, that’s because she is. Mobile phones were everywhere in India. I also have a picture of a holy man in the post at a Jain Temple in Ranakpur talking on one.

Love it! The contrast of technology and a more labour intensive culture is wonderful.
