Lower Town in the mist
On an early winter morning the mist settles in the low-lying areas of Mohenjo daro between the "citadel" and the "lower town". In the distance the heavy mist on the Indus River forms a solid white line.

Mohenjo-daro "Citadel" mound and Stupa in the mist
Local villagers cross the site in a donkey cart in the early morning mist, with the Buddhist stupa perched on top of the "citadel" mound. The modern road winds through the low-lying area between the "citadel" and "lower town."
Sunrise over Mohenjo-daro
The winter sun rises over the site while the mist clings to the mounds.
Farmlands to the west of Mohenjo-daro
West of the "citadel" mound are lush farmlands watered by modern irrigation channels. A levee protecting the site from annual floods divides the irrigated land from the salt encrusted sediments surrounding the ancient site.
