Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

From Delhi...
Belated new year wishes as well!
Vacation (though it was hardly one) ends in a few hours and I'm already depressed.
??!: I never noticed the green door fetish! I think its more just a fetish for doors and windows!
bint battuta: Thanks! Yes, I am hoping the year turns out to be good...lets see.
tr: hmmm...
renovatio: Thanks. And belated new year wishes! Hope you have a good one.
spacebar: Thanks!
e: It's from Humayun's Tomb - probably my favourite structure in Delhi. The Selcuk/Persian ghosts aren't surprising - Humayuns Persian wife Hamida Banu Begum supervised the construction. Also, Humayun himself spent a lot of time in exile in Persia and his reign saw the increasing infuence of Persian architectural styles...Selcuk influences were present from the Sultanate period itself.
More green doors! Fetish this is?
ReplyDeleteLuverly photos.
ReplyDeleteCheer up...the new year's a canvas you get to paint any colour you want (even green).

ReplyDeleteMe likey. It tells a story, that you just can't put into words. I guess that's this city itself.
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeletewow.
ReplyDeletethe marigolds are lovely, but the first shot is my favorite: what structure is it from?
for some reason it conjures up selcuk/persian ghosts....

You must visit Delhi soon.
