it really is clean and white. my cameras had trouble taking photos as the sky was almost the same colour. the optical illusions are interesting - the width of the columns.

offerings to Ganesh and other Gods at Chattapur Mandir (Temple)

100_4878.JPG, originally uploaded by AliaK.

Chattapur Mandir (Temple), Delhi, 13/07/2006 - we had a blessing ceremony in front of Ganesh. we couldn't take photos inside the buildings but this is a postcard. the statues are finely carved, some seem to be made of silver or copper (not sure). we washed our hands, were given flowers as offerings to the statues, then poured water onto a centrepiece which had water flowing onto it, had spices and food (rice) offerings given to the centrepiece, then the red paste put on our forheads. we were given half coconuts and flowers.

I'm trying out the 'blog this' feature from flickr to drupal. it's working well - I need to change the format a touch but that's hopefully just a bit of tweaking. posting some pics in random chronological order.

gps drawing - driving from work to home (chandlers ford to southampton) 25/02/2005. I have some gps data from NZ, Sydney, NSW - QLD drive, Brisbane, India to create images and upload also. I must have overwritten the Brussels data as I haven't seen the files in a while. I don't think I had the gps when I went to Seoul but I'll have a look for the data in case I've just mis-filed it. There's even the gps for artists workshop gps walk we did on the Isle of Wight.. so many things to catch up on...

blue sky in the cooler district

blue sky in delhi, July 2006 - haven't seen blue sky in Delhi for a while so I just had to take a photo (any excuse). this is whilst driving to work. it's one of the main roads along which all the cooler shops are located. there was an article in the paper a couple of weeks ago talking about how AC (air conditioners) were gaining popularity in Delhi and that air/water cooolers would one day be outdated. perhaps this might take a while as the AC are still VERY expensive here for most Delhiites. the coolers are quite efficient and much cheaper to run.

blue sky in Delhi

blue sky in delhi, July 2006 - haven't seen blue sky in Delhi for a while so I just had to take a photo (any excuse). this is taken at work. the dishes almost blend in as clouds. it's taken from within the building so a touch unclear. but there was hardly any pollution in the air as well which is a change for Delhi also!
