What a delightful ride in historic surroundings.
ReplyDeleteExcellent perspective through this beautiful arch.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful tour!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River.
ReplyDeleteRajesh...I think I would want to get to the fort both by walking and by elephant ride. That scalloped archway is beautiful. Can’t wait for your next post to learn a little more about your gorgeous country.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a fascinating country, Rajesh!
ReplyDeleteI've always admired those who've made the climb up for the elephant ride. I think it would make me fearful and feeling tipsy. but I still think I'd try it! lovely shadow shots. happy SSS.
ReplyDeleteI think an elephant ride would be a great way to get to the fort. But then, any way of getting there would be worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved elephants, Rajesh. Thanks for sharing this one with us!
