We're all in Lucknow....

About to head home. Here's a photo of our little group in Lucknow at the Bara Imambara, a Muslim religious monument built in 1764.  Its central hall  is said to be the largest arched hall in the world. Its construction is unique because its arched ceiling blocks have been put together with an interlocking system of bricks, without the use of girders and beams, and no pillars to support it.

The Bara Imambara is also known for its incredible maze called Bhulbhulaiya, located in the upper floor. From the photo above, you see that we found our way out.  I'm the one in the black top and brown trousers.

Daily Haiku
  Up and down we wove
Through twisting, narrow hallways
As we do through life

Always sad as a journey nears its end...but time to plan another.

This is a great group shot, relaxed, posed yet not. Is your travel companion behind to your left?

I agree—this is a great group shot (and probably taken with everyone's camera, one by one). I like that you took it before you all collected your shoes. How lucky you were to visit this place!

A perfect picture to keep as a souvenir.

SPRING FASHION

 This is a post that would be better in color, but maybe not. These colors were soooo pale.
