Goodbye Delhi

I left India at the end of August, and I have finally finished editing the last of my photos from around Delhi. These don't have any larger theme - just a collection of scenes that caught my eye. Looking at these from back in the US, many of the photos, especially those in Old Delhi, seem like worlds apart. Enjoy!

Dhankya and Delhi

A few months ago, my team made a return visit to Rajasthan for our model village project in Dhankya. Although I didn't take nearly as many photos the second time around, there are still a few shots worth sharing. Also included are a couple shots from around Delhi. Enjoy!

Around Delhi Pt. 2

I've uploaded more photos taken during my wanderings around Delhi. There's not much of a unifying theme here, but I think this set does a nice job at demonstrating the huge diversity of people and places that Delhi houses. Between trash-filled streets in Ghaziabad, cramped alleys in Old Delhi, and high-end shopping malls in Vasant Kunj, traveling through Delhi can feel like shifting between vastly different worlds. Hope you enjoy!
