Trip to India Jan-Feb.2013, Bikaner, Camel Farm

 A typical street scene in Bikaner.

 With my luck I had come to Bikaner to see the annual Camel Festival.  The events which I wanted to see were on days when I wouldn't be here.  So I elected to visit the Camel Research Center on the south of the city.

 It was feeding time which made it a good time to visit.

 Its the home to over 400 camels in three different breeds.

 Some of the camels are branded.

 I love camels feet.  The way they smoothly plop them up and down and the skin seems to slip.

 No, I didn't try anything in the snack bar.

The next day I took the train back to Jodhpur.  I was stunned to find the train station so empty in the middle of the morning.  A big surprise in a city of over half a million.  Usually any train station is teeming with people.
