Eastern Influence

Oh! What a Holi! Wishing everyone a joyous one!!

Old Nabob looking for k***s

The “Residency” in Lucknow, the 160 acre bastion, that was held by a small number of English, Loyal Indian troops and Anglo/English against a huge army of mutiners/freedom fighter depend on your point of view. Eventually relieved by an army of the raj. Heroics on both sides of this sad tale. And the end of the east india company.
A beautifully kept grounds, a refuge in the dreadfully congested and over crowded Lucknow. Traffic worse than any place i have been. Air pollution off the charts.
