Photos of Qutb Minar and Delhi

Please forgive the lack of commentary or stories here, it's late and I spent a somewhat harried evening (quite unnecessary of course) trying to plan out my next few days.  My strong recommendation - if you visit India, have a plan.  The first shots are from the old city - old old old, and then from the site of the Qutb Minar, and old Muslim temple area in what was the center of Delhi a thousand years ago.  Then photos from my long walk home - show-casing some of Delhi.  Enjoy!  


There it is in the distance, about 3km away

Tomorrow I hope to be off to the Taj Mahal, then to Jaipur for a hopefully slower, more backpacker-y time.  Thanks for reading!
