A Camel drop-off and load station in Taj Ganj, Agra, India - on the old desert routes between the Bay of Bengal and Kabul. These routes have been used for centuries and are still used to ply their trade. From here they carry wood and dried cow dung, which are both valuable fuels, to the desert regions of Rajasthan to the West. Notice the woman asleep in the middle of the photgraph, and the sacks of dried cow dung waiting to be loaded. Photograph taken in 1979
