I spent way too much time yesterday fiddling with the formatting of my post, trying to frame pictures in exactly two lines of text, etc., which is entirely pointless: unless you're using a Mac and Mozilla Firefox, the formatting will turn out differently anyway! So here, all in one go, are some pictures from the area around Chanderi, the charming forgotten town we went to recuperate from Agra, and some scenes from along the Ken River, too (punctuated with grey and red granite at left). You'll find a potter and his family - prehistoric rock paintings - a family of fishermen on a lake surrounded by the green-yellow fields of mustard-dusted wheat we saw shining in irrigated areas everywhere - two crocodiles (not at that same lake as the fishermen) - a trio of birds, including a kingfisher - a stork - a treeful of plum-headed parrots - some 13th century Jain cliff carvings - a langur (a kind of monkey) - a view of Chanderi from the ruins of its fortress - the weird welcome gate of 16th century Chanderi - a scene of one of Chanderi's Friday mosque - a woodland scene (notice that the greenest part has legs) - and a view of one of the many weddings we passed (February being particularly auspicious for weddings)...
