The whole experience was a big fun: just seeing those awesome skylines created by the Fort walls, the landscapes, the water and the sky, the colors of the Amber Fort was a great visual entertainment.The elephants need the special attention. I shot a ton of pictures of them and noticed that, actually the elephants don’t look absolutely the same. I even took a picture of the elephant behind from the top while I was on the elephant – have you ever seen their skin and hair up close?
The Amber Fort on its own deserves the special album, and I did post more picture of that architectural masterpiece on my blog earlier.

I am a passionate observer who likes to collect the moments and the looks.
The elephant rides to the Amber Fort have been much criticized by animal people as being very unkind and abusive towards the elephants. Elephants that have been in captivity cannot be returned to the wild. They deserve to live out their lives in peace in a sanctuary.
Honestly, I didn’t notice any sign of abuse on the elephants and in their drivers’s behavior. Indians looked as very caring people. Elephants have been accompanying Indians for centuries. And I don’t know how much of that wild left for them to live freely in India?
Rode one in a radio station promo in 1965 and wore wool pajamas and THAT’S when I found out how prickly elephants hair is
