Jaisalmer, nicknamed "The Golden city", is a town in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is located 575 kilometres west of the state capital Jaipur. It was once known as Jaisalmer state.
Jaisalmer is named after its founder Maharawal Jaisal Singh, a Rajput king in 1156 AD. "Jaisalmer" means "the Hill Fort of Jaisal". Jaisalmer is sometimes called the "Golden City of India" because the yellow sand and the yellow sandstone used in every architecture of the city gives a yellowish-golden tinge to the city and its surrounding area.
The town stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone, crowned by a fort, which contains the palace and several ornate Jain temples. Many of the houses and temples are finely sculptured. It lies in the heart of the Thar Desert (great Indian desert) and has a population of about 78,000. It is the administrative headquarters of Jaisalmer District.

Part two of the whimbrel squabble over a sand crab. The indignant one on the left is the one that originally dug up the crab from the sand and the one doing the snatching is the interloper.
Thanks for viewing! I so appreciate you taking the time to visit and comment!

Mt. Sinopah catches the sunrise nicely before the daily winds arrive to roil the waters of Pray Lake.
To the Blackfeet tribe the Two Medicine area was considered the "Backbone of the World" and were frequented during vision quests. They had it right as I'm always spiritually moved when here.
I posted an overview of the Two Medicine area yesterday.
A few other images of Mt. Sinopah in comments.
May your day have a little magic in it.

Le temps semble tourner au ralenti à cet endroit. Seul le chant des oiseaux vient rompre le silence...
Un endroit magique où chaque matin est différent de la veille.

As Nelli is more adventourous as her sister, Mira watches from the kitchen door what she will do next ...
As it is the very first time for them to be outside in their life and because of the strong winds blowing, their first "excursions" didn't take too long :-))

This shot has been taken in Manarola during the blue hour, the temperature was around five degres and the waves were pretty high in the sea. The town is almost desert during winter, but always a beautiful subject to photograph.
This is the old building at the edge of Benmore Gardens. Currently it houses the administrative offices and the art gallery.
... the voyage is about to begin...
