This is another grab-bag of pictures from a day around Udaipur in February. Except for the already too-high levels of vehicle and sound pollution in the streets (the place is simply not built for modern vehicles or the incredible number of scooters and motorcycles), Udaipur is such a cultural and visual rich place! (Please note that there is a video made up of these stills as well.) Please click on the pictures to enlarge. Ahhh......Rajasthan.

Look all the way through...
Ready to eat...

...carrying...stuff....
...and taking care of business.
Every day an older gentleman would walk down into this neighborhood washing area at the side of the lake (near the guest house) and remove the plants clogging up the area. Then the beating of clothes would begin!
This looked like some clothes escaping...tired of being beaten up.
The lake gets a little grosser looking as the water level drops.
Common India sights.
Getting towards sundown at a nearby ghat.
The Lake Palace at night.
At the start of a 'walkabout' in the city, a lovely Veg Thali dinner at the 'Little Prince' restaurant.
A small side of the lake temple.
Shivas everywhere...
...and other revered..
..and then a big pile of...
