than the revolting get-up that the Aussie athletes were forced to wear in the opening ceremony...my goodness, who designs these things!! Oh ok, the team garb....vomitous...can't bear to make the pic bigger...what were we thinking!!!
unlike these lovely spaces...ah, that's better...
And to my bloggy friends from other Commonwealth countries...
my apologies in advance...
because you just know we're going to win the medal tally count don't you?
It's inevitable I'm afraid...
sorry about that...console yourself with these lovely interiors instead...
Here's to a Games free from trouble...of any sort. India is an amazing country, and I hope it's wonderful. I'll leave you with my favourite photo of my trip to India in 2007...dawn at Varanasi...
Namaste bloggy peeps.
all images except mine from here
Oh Kerry, I am loving it!
ReplyDeleteGoodness - those photos are like a mini-vacation.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kerry!
Gorgeous images Kerry. I've never been, but it looks like an amazing place. And my posts may be a little thin over the coming weeks - absolutely love the games (Commonwealth and Olympics). Can't wait! K xx
ReplyDeleteThe last pic is stunning. I admit to wathing Hamish and Andy's trip to India last night on tv and the country looked amazing. The people also seem amazing.
ReplyDeleteps loved your wedding post as well (I'm slowly catching up on missed computer days)
So many lovely inspired interiors! If only the uniforms were more inspired!! :) Hazel
ReplyDeleteHaving visited India a few years ago, I have to agree with you that India is a wonderful and beautiful country.On the other hand, I think Canada has a great chance to win the most medals. Margaret
ReplyDeleteOoh, thanks for doing the hard yard for us, Kerry, and collecting such loveliness. Er, yes, the less said about those unifroms the better! Flickr is also a fabulous source of bright Indian colours - think saris, for instance! J x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. I love the last one, that you took - so peaceful! I can see why it is your fav.
ReplyDeleteThe white room is heavenly :-)
ReplyDeleteThat last photo, I just want to be there!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...these interiors! I have no words...(The Aussie uniform...I have no words for that either, but for a completely different reason:(!!!!). I love that first Indian interior photo!! Hope you have a wonderful week my lovely ~Txx
ReplyDeleteDear Kerry, You are quite right, the Australian team outfits look disgusting, but as you say, your athletes will win everything in sight. In England we are used to losing- so do not worry about that.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was born in India, so India has a special resonance for me, and the Raj still has many influences on the English language and the English psyche I think. I have loved looking at these beautiful interiors and your photograph of 2007 looks enchanting -exactly the kind of image which might entice me to visit one day!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI've been to India too :) It's a country full of surprises. The pictures you show us are truly pieces of India.
Have a nice day, my friend

Loved your photos of India. I spent a lot of time there when younger so it bought back some lovely memories:) Go Australia.
ReplyDeleteI liked the rugs so much. Since all are so colorful cleaning will not be a big issue. Other wise we need to hop from website to web-site looking for good carpet cleaners.
ReplyDeleteSo magical! Where in India was this??
