The first a metal door with an undulating effect.

From a beautiful wall in the City Palace in Jaipur.

Gnarly tree roots covered in ants create visually unique texture.

A cracked ground, evoking a sense of dryness.

A culmination of trash found on the ground where the appearance of dried up fruit is common.

From fabric example of printing, the dye is varying in value creating a picturesque image.

TYPE

Taken of a median in Jaipur, when you take a closer look you'll notice unique intricacies, not clearly seen from afar.

The below image, caught my eye from the bus while driving into Agra, a unique and varying representation of various types scattered about chunks of walls.

A wall with what seems to be scribble, yet aesthetically pleasing none the less.
The aged look of this type contributes greatly to its beauty.

The bright in your face yellow carved type jumps out at you.

The type on the overhanging is yet again fading, as the Indian people seem to never re-paint anything.

The colors, and stubtleness of this wall immediately caught my eye along the road in Agra immediately across from the shop I bought my wall hangings in.

An eloquently written message appearing in Gandhi's handwriting at his shrine.

I found this in Gandhi's shrine also, it has a hand-made feel to it which I found visually pleasing.

Found on a wall, almost looks like a chalkboard.

The vivid blue jumps out at you, as this type could not go unnoticed agianst the subtle pink wall in Jaipur.

PATTERNS

Surprisingly found at MICA, next to the 24hr cantine, after the rains created its rich colors.

Nature and its patterns cease to amaze me, as does the intricacy of this honeycomb.

A pattern found at a white marble temple in Jaipur.

At the same temple as the image picture above giving a sense of the constant use of pattern throughout architecture in India.

Found in the City Palace in Jaipur, patterns permeated through out the entire structure with no detail being forgotten.

A

I love my little A found perched amongst the mayhem at the Sun Temple, proving the eye is wondrous, when you pay attention to detail.

B

The B is formed through the curvature of the iron, as you will find similar designs throughout the whole of India.

C

The wall forms a lovely C which was keenly waiting to be found by my lens at the City Palace in Jaipur, while on our spectacular elephant ride.

D

A happy accident, taken on a drive back from dinner in Ahmedabad, while the monsoon rains poured down, the lights of oncoming traffic, and a slow shutter speed helped create this beauty.

E

A nice little E found in the fabric stitching of some sort of Indian souvenir.

F

Formed at the Sun Temple in Gujarat, the many pillars were jutting out over the water, as I stood on one to capture this image.

G

When i saw the lowercase g waiting for me I was ecstatic as it is near perfection, wonderfully emulating the beauty and grace of line.

H

I chose to show both if these H's that I found because as they form the same letter, how they form it is contradicting one another, making them an interesting comparison.

I

I chose to use two I's that i found, as one is incredibly apparent, the other you have to search for a little more. You will notice that in the top mage there is a plethora of I's contributing to the design of the temple.
