Hi Olivia! 30 years…India has changed so much since then … but yes, the heritage architecture is still intact!
Thank you so much for visiting me…do drop by again! 🙂
Hello bhavna,
those are beautiful photos. I visited the Red Fort in Delhi about thirty years ago and admired its splendid architecture. I have very good memories of India.

These are amazing! The architecture is phenomenal. What a talented photographer!
She sure is, Constance…i was spell bound by the depth of some of her architectural photographs..
Do check out the mountain images on her site…she has a couple more there..
The blue door calls me to enter. The pointy mountain rocks. So unusual and sacred. Farah Mahbub is a talented photographer!
Thanks Amber! 🙂

Yesterday I ate in a more than delicious French restaurant in Montreal called La Porte (The Door). The name of the restaurant is in reference to a fabulous old door they purchased in Morocco. It has the same presence that the beautiful views you offered us. The architecture is splendid.
Hello Erinn! It would be awesome to have you visit India! 🙂
Ah…so it’s a painting! 🙂 Thanks Terri!
And welcome to An Indian Summer!
The picture on my post was a painting by Robert Genn, who is Canadian, I think…thanks for reminding me, as I forgot to put the reference!
What a gorgeous post…lovely photos and architecture. I need to catch up on more of your posts!!
Thanks for stopping by! Terri xo
what a great find. Spectacular architecture. Hopefully I will get to visit some of these places someday.
