The first three photos are of Jaigarh, which was the "war-time fort" (Amber was the "peace-time fort"). It is situated much higher on the mountain, and feels much more like a fortress than the palace feel of Amber. This is mostly for Hallett, but the cannon is the largest in the world (range of over 30km, takes 100 kg of gunpowder to fire and four elephants to aim)! The other two pictures are taken within the old city - one of the madness that is traffic, and the other of Hawa Mahal ("Palace of the Winds"). The majority of the old city is made up of bazaars, but we don't have many good photos here.
