Gary meets a camel. And looks really happy about it! They're used a lot out here to pull carts and things, but tend to look really miserable - this one's bearing its teeth at Gary if you look closely...
Jaisalmer fort at night - from the rooftop restaurant of our hotel.
A haveli in the old town. Rich merchants and prime ministers would build these large houses, and then pay someone to cover the outside with really intricate carving. Completely over the top!
This gate to the lake is called Tilon Ke Pol. It was apparently built by a local prostitute, and the only reason the Maharajah didn't pull it down was because she put a shrine to the God Vishnu on top! So he had to put up with it's 'pollution' on the way to the lake :)
Jaisalmer fort gate at dusk. Really impressive, trust me!
