Colours of Jodhpur

The amount of colour in Jodhpur is something quite spectacular. Among all the beautiful blue houses (that give it the nickname of the 'blue city') there are also the contrasting browns provided by the surrounding hills and of course the massive Mehrangarh Fort. Lastly, the striking colours of the wildlife, like the lovely parrot, add the finishing touches to this amazing city.

Photo of the Day: A Very Obliging Lizard!!!

I recently came back from a range of mountains in South Africa called the Cederberg. This area has magnificent rock formations, and reminds me in some ways of the beautiful landscapes of Cappadocia. I will post more pictures of my trip in days to come. 

This guy however was a talking point in itself. He really was beautiful, but strangely also very tame. Normally to capture a shot like this you would have to use a telephoto of sorts in order for him to not be scared away. But this shot was taken with the lens I had been using to take the beautiful scenery around me, which happened to be my Sigma 10-20mm landscape lens. I panned my camera around him, taking a number of shot no longer than a rulers length away from him.

A very obliging lizard!!!
