This new year, there is a small change in the way images are displayed in India Travel Blog.
The template size on this blog restricted me from posting photos that are larger than 640 pixels wide. This created multiple problems. In these days of ‘big pictures’, 640 pixels are too small and did not do justice many images. Second, all the clutter around the images (thanks to my ancient, orange template), failed to highlight the images and did not offer an undisturbed view. A clutter-free environment is necessary to be able to appreciate a photograph. These problems are now solved, at least to some extent. The images are now uploaded at a much higher size. On clicking a photograph, you will not only see a larger sized image, it will get displayed with a neutral background. It is also now possible to navigate through all the images in a post, either as a slideshow or through ‘next’ and ‘previous’ links. I hope you like the changes. Your feedback on this would really help. Thank you.
Forts and walls that go on as far as the ridges of the hills that contain them, red sun setting over orange sand dunes, slippery grains of sand slipping through the feet, starry nights in the middle of the desert whose silence is occasionally interrupted by the camel’s bells, orange turbaned men playing flute and traditional ravan hatha, making the little dolls dance to the tune of soulful music, children dancing to the voices of old men wearing colourful clothes, women in red robes and long skirts walking gracefully with a pot of water leaving behind the sonorous sounds of anklets, temples painted with playful acts of young Lord Krishna and palaces where opulence can’t be bettered. That’s just a few glimpses of what Rajasthan has to offer us, and what we are going to see and photograph. Our photography tour of Rajasthan will leave you lingering for more, and the pictures we bring back will ensure that the memories will never fade.
