    INCREDIBLE INDIA Part 4 (It’s long, please read to the end 55). It took place at the Albert Hall. Almost every review mentions the beauty of the exterior architecture, saying that you can come for a walk and take pictures. But no one has ever mentioned the light show, which our SONY Driver calls the Rainbow Lighting Show. It’s shown every day from 7 pm to 9 or 11 pm, I’m not sure. I didn’t hear it fast enough, I was just WOW!!!! And what’s more WOW!!! was that the camera’s battery was low because I thought I was going back to the hotel, so I didn’t plug it in to charge. The photographer should be able to imagine that taking pictures like this requires a huge amount of battery. Oh well, let’s take a chance. I set the settings as I thought of, press shoot, process the picture, and boom!!! The low battery warning light came on as expected. From my past experience, if I turned the camera off and on again, it would take 2-3 more pictures with the original settings, but I couldn’t check the images or set any new settings. Incredible, lol. Let’s do what happens. I prayed to every monk and grandparent at every temple that the calculated settings were correct, and I got the pictures I wanted. (I don't know if you guys have come to India correctly 555) I took 2 more pictures. At that moment, the most incredible came. The place where we were standing to take pictures was on the side of the road. India is India. The car stopped. 2 big men got out of the car, walked to a position near us, raised their phones to take pictures wildly. They didn't see that our camera was there. Then they shook themselves up into the car. At the moment they shook, some part might have almost hit the tripod. It was tilted, sir. But India didn't see it. At the moment when both the camera and the legs were about to fall and hit the ground, the camera strap that was woven from what? Raiden Hebi that Jay knitted for me swung high up just enough for Jay to turn around and grab it in time (You have to imagine it like a slow-motion scene in a movie). Phew!!! Both the camera and the legs survived. Thank you to my grandparents. Thank you to Jay for the camera strap. And finally, thank you to Jay for my photography skills that made me get this picture in such a critical situation. The first picture is the one I told you about. The rest of the pictures are the extra pictures from my phone that... Stay tuned for part 5 tomorrow. Good night tonight. Tonight, I'll sleep in Jodpur, the blue city.

    The Water Palace is also a site of an ancient Indian dynasty. The palace building is quite large and you can see many sculptures with Indian characteristics. The building itself is also quite interesting. It is a rare place to learn about Indian architectural culture.
