  1. This is a magnificent vista! Such wide open spaces. But that's horrible news about the fires still raging and the flood waters still not receding. I really hope that things turn around soon :(

    Sorry I couldn’t visit you for the last two weeks! I’m trying to catch-up and hope things have already cooled off down there!
    Meanwhile, one of the most beautiful Forts in India waits you and your comments at Blogtrotter: – The Amber Fort! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
