Photos from mera dost, Paul

Below are some pics from my friend Paul's trip to India a few years ago.

The 1st is from the Red Fort (Lal Qila) which is near the Taj Mahal. It was constructed on the site of a former fort by Akhbar the Great and finished in 1573. Over a million laborers were used in it's construction.



the next picture is from Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, in central Rajasthan, a massive complex of palaces atop a 400ft high hill. Construction on this fort was started in 1459.


the last pic is from a street in Delhi. Note the wide boulevard, antispetic conditions and scarce populace. Kinda reminds me of Tienamen Square. I wish I was in Chandi Chowk right now.
