[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Jodhpur in Rajasthan is also known as "The Blue City" since so many of the homes and buildings are painted blue...someone told me that it's a welcoming gesture to Hindu gods. In September it was terribly hot and I saw these street vendors perched on their goods in the shade of a big blue wall, staying out of the sun and smoking "bidies"...those cheap, hand-rolled cigarettes. They were not too keen on a Westerner taking a photo so I didn't have much time for this before they both had their faces covered and looked away. Try to be respectful of their wishes and customs.

Nice pov and colorful contrast here in a good composition. I like the colored material hanging on the wall. Good clarity and sharp, nice work. TFS

Wonderful picture!!!

I don't understand why pictures like this one only have few points, and other pictures of certain photographers have a lot. Perhaps, this photographers have lots of friends in TE...

I give 2 points to your picture!!!
Keep on making this kind of pictures, please!!!!
