This week Ann Christine has invited us to share pictures of shades and shadows for the Lens Artist Photo Challenge # 152.
I am presenting a snapshot of pictures from Jaipur and Udaipur, two famous cities of Rajasthan, India!
A peek into the play between the Sun, shade and shadows which make an interesting story.

Folk singers delighting the crowd with their soulful singing!

A shot at my silhouette π

At a local fair in Udaipur!

Dormant canon gun….Thank goodness, I don’t fire anymore π

Play of the sun and shadows on the old door!

Grace and rhythm in perfect sync!

Candid Conversations π
Fabulous photography and play with shades and shadows! Rajasthan is truly a gem of India with its unique culture, architecture and national parks!

These pictures were absolutely beautiful. I especially loved the ones where the falling of shadow caused the light to appear in tiny spot patterns. I also enjoyed seeing more of these cities. Thank you so much for sharing!
