Images from Samod, Rajasthan
Lobby of our "Palace" Hotel in Samod
View from the top of the sand-mining setup in Samod. The sand is silica rich and used to produce glass. It's got this wonderful change of colour to it as the afternoon sun sets.
One of the local attractions at the Samod "potentially married women" festival
View from our "palace" Hotel in Samod over the surrounding hills. GreenOil's power plant is slated to be built to the left of that mountain on the ridge.
Religious (Hindi) colours of Samod. You but these to approach the temple.

A cow sneaks a snack. Don't let this picture fool you into thinking this is normally tolerated.
One of the no-doubt millions of photos I will take from eager lookers-on. This is from the market in Chamu.
Freshly squeezed sugar-cane mixed with mint and salt. Mmmmmm....
Concluding business at the market in Chamu.
The local water-dispenser. She kept waving to me every time I went past so I asked if I could take her photo. The water is free, those on the side of the can are "donations" worth about 2c each.
