More pictures from Lucknow trip

We stayed at a pleasant little hotel in Lucknow.  These were the views out our little terrace in the back.

 

Lucknow is known for kites.  Every afternoon we could see people flying them from roofs all around.  Is it a thing in the State to bring down other's kites?  That's the game here.  As a kid Brij would coat his kite string with shattered glass to better cut down his opponents.  Kites are popular in Pune too.  There's at least one vendor near the education center always with a box of paper kites.

The Chotta Imambara had an impressive collection of glass, gifted from nations all over the world.

We visited a school Brij went to briefly.  The main building was quite impressive (below) and the grounds were scattered with amazing, overgrown outbuildings.

A broken statue at the Residency.

You never know what you'll find at the mall.

Or on the street.
