Yes, ...Hello James, and Happy New year to you, too! Yes, it is an extraordinary garden, and fort/palace, as it is such a marriage between the Hindu influences and traditions of the Rajputs, and the Islamic ones of the Mughals. I was so impressed of these old, magnificent sites of India, and was wondering how my kids will ever be impressed by the European ones after having seen all this... Amazing, but such a tough environment with so much poverty contrasting with all the splendour. I've just ordered a couple of real "treatises" about Indian and Mughal gardens, and can't wait to learn more.The Intercontinental Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419730672738553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625454006116116876.post-58843851306148209952013-01-05T12:07:09.101+08:002013-01-05T12:07:09.101+08:00To repeat Faisal, you certainly are traveling a lo...To repeat Faisal, you certainly are traveling a lot, Liisa. This is a very strange garden, not at all what I've come to expect of chahar bagh gardens (at least from books).James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625454006116116876.post-21689306386072035232013-01-04T07:38:10.622+08:002013-01-04T07:38:10.622+08:00Hello Faisal, good to hear from you!
Yes, it was ...Hello Faisal, good to hear from you!<br /><br />Yes, it was a real traveling year, and it seems like this year will be one, too. All goo, but I do miss having my own garden!<br /><br />India is amazing, all there amazing buildings and gardens, contrasted by a truly 3rd world poverty and pot-holed roads. There is so much to see, but the travelling can be quite rough. <br /><br />I wish you a great gardening and writing year of 2013. All the best, Liisa.The Intercontinental Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419730672738553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625454006116116876.post-47463844453561907512013-01-04T07:31:11.261+08:002013-01-04T07:31:11.261+08:00Liisa, you certainly move around alot!
The scale ...Liisa, you certainly move around alot! <br />The scale of these gardens is incredible. The work that's gone into them is incalculable. Your photos are real eye-openers. <br />I've never quite seen anything like them.Gardener in the Distancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478393904059307841noreply@blogger.com
