Street Scenes: Morning Commute Jaipur

This group of elephants was spotted on their way to work early one morning on the two lane highway leading to Amber Fort Palace in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, India.


Their job is not an easy one. They carry groups of tourists up the steep paved mountain road that leads to the entrance of the fort. The elephants are limited to four trips to the top daily.

What is your morning commute like and what do you typically see on the way?

Well... that's certainly not what I used to see on my way to work back in Sydney when I still lived there! It was more like traffic jams. Wonderful shot!

Elephants are so captivating - so much nicer to see in the morning on the way to work rather than a stream of cars
