Like most people, I have taken thousands of pics over the years. And just like most people even I have barely looked at them myself. This is an effort to pare them down to a small subset of interesting ones. So I will put up one a day until I run out of pics, or patience, or Tumblr. ©CC-BY-SA

ನಾಲ್ಕುನಾಡು ಅರಮನೆ .. (b/ab) [3 / 6]
Painting on the ceiling of the palace built by Dodda Veerarajendra at Nalknad, Kodagu.
I don't usually use flash, but it was raining, and it was dark inside, and nothing else would bring out the deep red ochre.

The Logistics of Laundry .. [2 / 2]
Have you considered how difficult it is to dry washed clothes during an Indian monsoon? You can't put them up on clotheslines, even inside, because the air is so humid that nothing has a chance to dry. So this is the technique the locals came up with: put a wicker basket over a clay bucket of hot coals, and drape the clothes over the basket. Madikeri, KA.

Hole in the Wall
A hole punches through Hadrian's Wall at Birdoswald, EN.
(For a slightly different perspective of the same feature, see →)
I haven't been able to figure what this structure was for. There is an outer wall beyond this, so it wasn't just open to the great wilds of Pictland. But why build in a deliberate backdoor, even if it was only halfway through?
