Cee’s Fun Foto challenges are always very exciting and this week it is doubly so because it is of any word with X in it or the X shape in the picture.
So are you game?
I was terribly excited to see this bird especially when it allowed me to come close enough to click a pic with my phone. Hmm you don’t buy it do you?
I loved the texture of the nude walls.
The purple pansy in the middle that is looks like an X doesnt it? Well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it π
Lots of X’s there, although the handwriting may not be up to the mark! π
A musician with his ektara (I think!) a one-stringed instrument making a perfect X
An ox taking a morning walk through the busy streets of Mt Abu. Don’t miss the tongue sticking out – probably drooling at the thought of breakfast π
Here’s a test – how many X’s can you count? π
Isn’t that a massive X?
As they say, be careful of what you ask for you may get it π
The orange trumpet creeper or Brazilian flame vine Pyrostegia venusta (gosh look at all those precious alphabets – U Y and Z!) that has been firmly fixed to the rod to make a pretty little umbrella. Darn it I should have kept this for the next challenge or two… π
So which one is your favorite? Now don’t tell me not a single one? If you don’t say anything that’s what I shall assume and be very sad. Now you dont want me to be sad do you?
This is not actually from another era but recently built in honor of Maharana Pratap (9 May 1540 β January 1597) a popular Rajput King of Mewar or modern day Rajasthan in Udaipur.
Another angle of the temple with intricate carvings.
Most, if not all of the human figurines have been painstakingly damaged and trashed by the invaders of those times. They took what they could and destroyed what they couldn’t. But still their beauty shines through.
Another temple, another wall, another tragedy and another triumph.
I end this series with a picture of the Bagore ki Haveli at Udaipur flicked from my son’s collection (psst plijj dont tell him!). Last year he had visited Udaipur which inspired us to visit it this year. But unfortunately despite active efforts due to various reasons we couldnt visit this particular fort. Much to our absent son’s delight π
