Last week I had to go to the city of Alwar in Rajasthan. Although Rajasthan is mainly desert, Alwar is green. As I was admiring the view here, a camel cart loaded with bags of grain passed by.
The camel cart is used to transport goods as well as rural folks in the desert. The skies were blue there, a welcome change from the grey monsoon skies of the tropical south India.
Thanks to the Skywatch team for hosting the meme.
Lovely skies, marvelous captures and I love the way the sky is framed by the trees. And, of course, I love the camel! I'm sure you enjoyed some blue skies after the grumpy, monsoon skies you've had. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Now that's really picturesque! Love the camel, too! Very lovely landscape. I'm glad you got some sunshine instead of incessant rainfall.
ReplyDeleteThat's a small camel he he... so cute but useful! Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletebelle ed interessanti le tue foto.
Grazie della visita.
Buona giornata :-)
Gosh, the view is awesome but also it is neat to see a camel. That would distract my view as I don't see camels around here! Really good pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies and scenic views. With the camel and the cart, it looks like it is straight from a child's story book!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the sky as blue as that! I'm tired of seeing grey skies here:(
ReplyDeleteThe landscape is beautiful! I've visited quite a few places in Rajasthan but not Alwar.
Happy weekend!
Beautiful scenery, Lotusleaf, and I love the one of the camel pulling the cart!
ReplyDeleteSylvia, yes I was thankful to see blue skies although the heat was killing.

Autumn Belle, the camel is quite a common animal in Rajasthan.
Kanak, Many people don't know about the beauty of Alwar. It has historic importance too.
Pat, the camel was a lucky intruder!
Beautiful scenery and lovely skies! I love the shot of the camel too, what a neat sighting.
ReplyDeleteI hope they treat the camel well, and not just like a means of lugging heavy objects! It's too cute not to be :)
