Thar Desert — Mariellen Ward Like

Falling in Love With the Desert Around Jaislamer, Rajasthan, India

At first it looks like nothing. Then it looks like everything. The sand dunes ripple in a rhythmic dance below an indigo sky. The only sounds are the gurgling camels and the whispering silence of a warm breeze that brushes your skin and reminds you that this isn’t a mirage. Infinity stretches in every direction, including within. Far in the distance, the famous golden sandcastle rises out of the earth and speaks the language of love and trade. History, imagination, and the profound present intersect in the desert outside of Jaisalmer, and the effect is stunning.
