ABC WEDNESDAY--"L" is for "locks"

One more India photo....still need to replenish my Belgrade stock.

I'm sorry I didn't buy one of these fancy locks or one of the door knockers.

Next time.....

See other L's on ABC WEDNESDAY.

Lost and posing

There's a wall not far from me that I noticed before I left for India because it had a couple of broken toys sitting on a little shelf on it.  Now that I've returned, the collection has grown....here's what it looks like now, and a close-up.  I'll have to find something to add....

THEME DAY-pedestrians crossing "Searching for Mr.(s?) Chandon?

Ah....if only the weather were good enough today (it's snowing lightly....) for someone to wear this shirt like late last fall....

There's a fine wines store just ahead of this fellow....will he buy some champagne?

See other pedestrians at THEME DAY.

And if you're here in my part of the world, don't forget to set your clocks ahead tonight....

SKYWATCH--silhouettes in purple

Taken a bit before I left for India.

See other skies, in all colors, on SKYWATCH.

Egads!

"Egads! Another McDonald's!", or so the art on the wall seems to say....

Cool idea....

How's this for a hidden bar?

La dame en bleu

Back in Belgrade....it's cold....

The sun sets....

The sun sets on yet another trip to India...I hope to return.  This is Delhi's Lotus Temple at sunset. It was completed in 1986 is a house of worship, and has become a prominent attraction, having won numerous architectural awards and featured in scores of newspaper and magazine articles.

Schoolboys

India can either be a photographer’s paradise or nightmare. People LOVE to have their photograph taken, to the point that if you have any sort of visible camera, you’ll be clicking away non-stop.  Couldn’t resist these young schoolboys, who were delighted just to see themselves on my camera’s monitor.  The one with the topknot is undoubtedly a Sikh. Sikhs do not cut their hair and as a form of respect cover it with an elegantly tied turban. To keep one's hair is a commitment to accept the body in the natural form in which it was born, and to get rid of vanity relating to outward appearance.

Leaving tomorrow, sniff, sniff....
