I’ve been posting lots of great images from South Asia lately but the library’s huge and in the coming weeks and months I’ll be posting images from many other countries and continents – South America, Central America (North America) and more amazing photos from Asia.

Below are a taste of photos from Rajasthan, the Indian state full of deserts, Maharaja’s fortresses and camels.

A land where the hot wind licks the sweat off your brow and the desert air echoes with vulture’s screams and the guttural belch of the camel’s throaty moans.

Have a happy and healthy 2013 and let’s continue finding and sharing inspiration and adventures for the next year and beyond.
