Jodhpur, India: the blue city

Jodhpur is known as the blue city for the colour of its buildings, as you can clearly see. I think they started out as just being painted blue to mark the presence of a brahmin, but when it was discovered that the blue pigment used was an effective mosquito repellent, everything suddenly went a little blue around here.
Awesome.
