Agra Miscellany

Any day in India is sure to provide some startling and/or amusing sights (and many times sites, as well).

The haze was impressive all day long. In Delhi, the sun is not visible for at least a half hour before sunset -- the haze/fog/smog is that thick. Vapi's air quality is good by comparison(!).
Agra was filled with animal-pulled carts: bullocks (oxen), horses, and camels.
The orange color on this horse is from henna dye.
Henna is a common adornment for humans and livestock alike.
Another in my series of what can be delivered by bicycle.
I'd hate to see the result of a bike spill here!
A major street in Agra: A tuk-tuk, a huge tour bus, a road under construction, and a motorcycle coming on the wrong side of the street -- pure India.
But the real reason for taking the photo was the name of the tour company.
The passengers might panic at the traffic, but I hope the driver does not!
I wonder if they pass out towels embroidered with "Don't Panic" a la "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
