Sepia tones of Lucknow

That’s Lucknow’s magnificent Rumi Darwaza

Old this certainly is .. dating back to 1784. This 60ft tall Rumi Darwaza was built by Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daulah as an entrance to the city. It was modelled on Istanbul’s Sublime Porte.

In fact most of Lucknow’s monuments were made under the reign of this nawab. From what little I’ve read of him he had little more to his credit than the beautification of Lucknow and his generosity that bordered on the eccentric.

The monuments sure are beautiful and when you’re as rich and spoilt as the nawabs are believed to be, some eccentricity is in order.

Jugadu wheels

That’s what you do when you don’t have snow wheels… tie chains
around regular wheels so they don’t slip on snowy slopes.

Heaven on earth

Thursday Challenge : “NATURE” (Rivers, Mountains, Rocks, Trees, Sky,…)

This one’s clicked by The Sister during her recent trip to Kashmir.

The snowfall, the horses and the tall trees.. isn’t it like a scene out of a film?
