This view, taken in 2007 from the road leaving Amber Fort near Jaipur, brings to my mind images of India that seem familiar to me perhaps from books I've read or movies I've seen. It recalls stories from Kim by Rudyard Kipling, a book read years ago about the India Mutiny, and other images associated with the British Raj. Maybe it's that we are looking down on a beautiful view some distance away that gives it the air of mystery and enchantment that I have long associated with India.
