the blue city

the color of Jodhpur is mesmerizing. a blue that lights up your soul at the sight of this vast urban sea. it is said that this shade of blue is meant to repel mosquitos. perhaps this is why so the air seemed so calm. Mehrangarth Fort lay atop this palatial city, looming dark and massive against a city of color.
it is the markets of India that appeal to me the most. to observe the people as they pass by on rickshaws, bicycles and motorbikes, mingling with the cows and other livestock. I am attempting to blend into a world that I am only beginning to understand. I wish for a moment to look through the eyes of a small child, eyes that reflect sincerity.
