Chitrakaar, your threads are amazing! do you take these pics by yourself traveling all over india?

Indusriver - thnks for the compliment - but these pics are not mine. I have taken these mostly from Panoramio (and the most I have done is edited them a bit and used Photoshop to improve the quality of the scans in some cases).

I have actually traveled all over India and I have my own slide collection - but it is mostly of historic monuments. Since my camera eye is no longer as sharp, I have stopped taking my own pics now. But I do enjoy collecting and sharing good pics (as you can see!!!)

:)

India is incredible! please keep the pictures coming. Love how fast it is changing.

Juancito thnks!!! I will keep adding more pics.

Diu (pop. about 25,000) is a historic town on the coast of Gujarat south of Rajkot.

Although much of the old fort settlement is now in ruins, some of the old still survives, and some has been restored. Some colorful newer buildings can also be seen.
