India (December 2016) – Amer's marvel is the Amber Fort, despite the hoards of tourists I found a few moments of photographic wonder. The remaining details of ivory and mother of pearl inlay around the doorways, mirrored walls and hidden passageways eventually leading to the fourth inner courtyard, where the rumours suggest once held veiled activity. For me it was the way the enigmatic light danced on the weathered baradari pillars, striking in contrast to the backdrop of the dilapidated inner courtyard.
