A post box in Bundi. Unfortunately I did not find any postcards to send, but imagine the photos of Bundi I have taken are the cards I posted to you I put in this post box. I like this postbox because it shows there is trust in the community. The postbox's in the UK are built like a castle to stop people stealing the mail.
Pre-T-shirt this is a cotton shop and the lady is putting them in a machine. The air was so filled with cotton fluff the photo barely came out. Just to put a depressing point about the clothing industry, nearly all people who make clothes die of cancer from the tiny particles that float in the air, even in the sewing houses and also the coloured dyes used for printing. When I was screening printing at art college the teacher use to bleach are hands so the dye would not give us cancer. So next time you buy a piece of clothes find one with natural dyes and natural fibres. There is some great new natural fibre fabrics made out of bamboo, which do not need pesticides in the growing process.
Boy waiting with his mother at the ironing shop.
View of Bundi from the roof top at the palace. The houses are painted blue to keep away mosquitoes.
Monkey at the tombs. This was taken dangerously close.
Tombs made of marble carved with beautiful pictures.

Shrine at the police station, police station is painted pink not much use for police in this town because everyone is happy.

The peeping-through window.
Clothes shop at the entrance to the palace wall. I bought a little outfit that might fit a puppet.
