I apologize in advance if any of you find this a bit trite. I'll admit to secretly hoping when I visited India that I would find a "snake charmer" and snag a picture. Low and behold, I as was rounding a bend at Amber fort, there he was.
I wanted a decent picture. I made the poor guy play for about five minutes while I was snapping pictures of him. I still don't think I gave him enough money but I am sure he was raking it in from the other tourists.
I had my doubts as to whether or not the snakes were real. I was pleased to see they were. He told me they weren't poisonous. I wasn't taking any chances.

Wonderful scene, looks like something you would see in an Indiana Jones movie. :)

Not trite at all. I wish I had gotten a photo like this. When I was in Morocco, our guide offered to take us to see "snake charmers" for photos. It was just a couple of guys holding snakes.
