Photo of a flower shop, Ajmer India. This Photo shop was across the street from the mosque. People buy there flowers here to bring into the mosque with them to offer to the sufi saint.

Photo of people in Ajmer India. I like this photo because it shows a lot of action with the kid running down the street smiling, and the man with the bicycle loaded with milk jugs. The streets in India are never still.

Photos From Morocco

These are more of my photos from Morocco. There are pictures from markets in Morocco, Moroccan clothing, the countryside of Morocco, tourists in Morocco and horse carriages in Morocco.

Moroccan pastries. These are kind of like sticky buns.

I like this photo of people resting in the shade during the hot hours of the day.

Photo of tourists relaxing in Morocco. This man took his shirt off as he lay in the sun which is not culturally acceptable in Morocco. Since this is a predominantly Muslim country, people do not get naked in public. Needless to say, this naked hippie tourist was getting a lot of awkward stares.

Taipei clothing Market at Hou Shan Pi. Everything is super cheap here. There are racks of clothes in front of every store where things cost about $3 USD each. They wear really fun clothes here.

Handicapped seats on the Taipei, Taiwan MRT subway. These blue seats are reserved for pregnant, disabled, and elderly people. I can't believe it, but no one will sit here on a totally packed train.

Mayan People, indigenous crafts Guatemala

Here area more photographs from Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. In this indigenous community in the mountains there are many people who still make and sell traditional crafts. In this region of Guatemala there is the highest population per capita of indigenous people. In Santiago the men still wear their traditional Mayan clothing, a rarity in other parts of Guatemala.

Last Photos of Chichicastenango, Guatemala

A day at the market in Chichicastenango can be a little bit hard. It is hot, and there is lots of walking. It is totally worth it though, for the amazing crafts, beautifully dressed people, and the awesome photographs!
