A great end to a nice day...

From the terrace of Surajgarh fort in Rajasthan, watchng the sun set over the distant plains, painting the sky a briliant blue and a range of warm colors....

Surajgarh fort is in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan known for its spectacular frescoes and murals inside the havelis or the huge mansions owned by the rich.

More pics of this glorious sunet and other scenes from Shekhawati here...

Beautiful shot! The archways' utter blackness really emphasizes the color in the sunset.... Well done!
