Photos showing New Delhi

New Delhi this year boasts a very modern subway system, the Delhi Metro.
Pedicabs, known in Delhi as "rickshaws", wait for customers outside the Metro station.



Recycling is very thorough.
Renewable-energy forms of transportation are used as well --
in this case, ox-carts.








Barbers set up shop on sidewalks.
Shave-and-a-haircut really does cost "two bits,"


As does a glass of fresh-squeezed fruit juice.







Walking to our Hotel Ajanta, near the New Delhi train station, is a muddy crowded task, with a cacophony of horns, motors, and street vendors.



Across from our hotel room we saw a rooftop Hindu shrine, carefully tended at sunup and sundown by a few occupants of that building.


And then on the train back north, we met up with friends Scott and Melanie Smith!
