India - Udaipur - Blue Hour over City Palace Reflected in the lake
City Palace, Udaipur, is a palace complex in Udaipur, in the Indian state Rajasthan. It was built by the Maharana Udai Singh as the capital of the Sisodia Rajput clan in 1559, after he moved from Chittor. It is located on the east bank of the Lake Pichola and has several palaces built within its complex. Udaipur was the historic capital of the former kingdom of Mewar in the Rajputana Agency and its last capital.
The City Palace in Udaipur was built in a flamboyant style and is considered the largest of its type in Rajasthan, a fusion of the Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, and was built on a hill top that gives a panoramic view of the city and its surrounding, including several historic monuments such as the Lake Palace in Lake Pichola, the Jag Mandir on another island in the lake, the Jagdish Temple close to the palace, the Monsoon Palace on top of an overlooking hillock nearby and the Neemach Mata temple. These structures are linked to the filming of the James Bond movie Octopussy, which features the Lake Palace and the Monsoon Palace. The subsequent publicity has resulted in the epithet of Udaipur as "Venice of the East".

tremendous light & composition.
for me, the little (comparatively) red boat in the foreground makes this shot.

Spectacular as usual, the little boat adds a special touch, Udaipur was pretty enough when I visited, but not this beautiful, the lake was mostly dry.
Re: desert shots, not quite back to all desert photos, an occasional return, but I did not come back with any exceptional photos from Colombia nad Panama, so I will post more from there in the next 3 weeks, after that it is back to the archives until June.
