This is photo heavy and will probably use a lot of juice. You've been warned.

Also, there are more... so, SOOO many more. But this is what I can throw out with limited time right now:

In Delhi, at the Lal Qila (Red Fort), ghosty image done mostly on purpose:


The Himalayan foothills dividing Pakistan-controlled and India-controlled Kashmir, taken from the plane on the flight from Jammu to Srinagar:


The "floating market" on Dal Lake, Srinagar, Kashmir-- about 5:30am or so:


More Himalayan "foothills" in Kashmir, in a gypsy village, with an ancient Hindu temple ruin (elev. approx. 10,000 feet):


A slightly different view of the Taj Mahal...


The pretty Agra Fort:


Odd view of the Taj from the Agra Fort:


Sunrise in the holy Hindu city of Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi:


A Bollywood movie being filmed on one of the ghats in Varanasi, early morning (these guys were staying at my hotel, ha!) Sidestory: I could have had a small part as an extra in that movie if I'd been able to stay in town longer. Anyway:


The hills of Darjeeling:


A window at the Enchey Monastery in Gangtok, Sikkim:


One of the many prayer flag sites on my 10-mile hike from Rumtek Monastery back to the National Highway (where I had to hitch a ride the rest of the way back to town, haha):
