I have landed safely from India....Hi Dear Friends-<br /><br />I have landed safely from India. Thank you, Lufthansa, for returning me to California one hour early! How did they do that!<br /><br />India was superb--and as always overwhelming, hospitable, funny (Indians have the best sense of humor...always laughing and joyful and wonderfully droll...) and vibrant and intense and surprising. I will be posting as soon as I can, and hope the images are up to expectation. Often I am shooting a group of women walking along the side of a very remote country road with stacks of branches or wheat or water urns on their heads (and wearing saffron colored saris, incredible) and often out of the window of a Jeep, or impromptu, when something or someone surprising appears.<br />I stayed at the new Aman hotel in Delhi, which is a dream. So private and polished and perfect. A respite in hectic Delhi.<br />I stayed at the Rambagh Palace (Taj) in Jaipur, which has the most beautiful gardens and marble hallways and hospitable staff.<br />At Ajabgarh (hear Alwar) I immersed myself in the beauty of Amanbagh, the most splendid and entrancing Aman resort.<br />Each place was vivid with beauty and kindness and fragrance.<br />I can't wait to return.Diane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-41825148566497807762009-12-02T10:41:58.229-08:002009-12-02T10:41:58.229-08:00What a wonderful opportunity ...a place I hope to ...What a wonderful opportunity ...a place I hope to visit someday myself.<br />As an artist, I'm sure I'd be mesmerized by the sights..The image you<br />display of muted tones is striking! <br /><br />Looking forward to hearing and seeing more of your travels...elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982873343318500397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-76368810025484940472009-12-01T20:56:26.745-08:002009-12-01T20:56:26.745-08:00i look forward to hearing about your trip... i wou...i look forward to hearing about your trip... i would love to go to india... i have been to asia many times but never there... someday... soon. safe travels...red tickinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400289072356876224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-11578047955498643742009-12-01T09:50:50.739-08:002009-12-01T09:50:50.739-08:00I can hardly wait!
