Roit Police & Puppet Colony

This one is a bit scattershot. Every day during my commute to work I drive by the Rajasthan parliament building, an imposing sandstone structure that looks eerily stalinist--even though parliament is currently in session the building shows no signs of activity (that is, the massive, 50-foot-tall doors are not being opened and closed. But this is probably just to keep the cold air in.)

About a block away is the puppet colony, which I've already posted about.

This is the massive dirt lot that abuts the colony. If you look closely at this and other pictures in the set, you can see it in a little more detail.
