An ice cream seller in a small town near Calcutta ( Kolkata ). These kind of ice cream sellers sales locally made very cheap ice cream. Most of the time there is no cream. Only ice , colour & sugar.
Old Castle Street, Aldgate. It houses the Art, Architecture and Design faculty of the London Metropolitan University.
The building was originally constructed as a packing factory and warehouse for the tea merchants Brooke Bond. It stands on both sides of the street, with the two halves linked by the bridge seen here at the top.
The road in the distance (with the red bus) is Whitechapel High Street.
The wallahs claim this is the last city on earth where human powered rickshaws remain a formidable force. They were introduced to Kolkata by Chinese immigrants more than a century ago.

Calcutta, India. I've seen similar scenes in several places throughout Calcutta. People congregate around a source of water--which isn't to say clean water--and do their business. It was tough to hang out in that part of the city without looking too much like an intruder. I was walking slowly, avoiding people's glances and stares, and hiding my camera as much as I could. Frankly, it didn't quite help. I couldn't do much about my white skin, backpack and sunglasses. But I did manage to snap a few shots without anyone looking at me.
All sorts of modes of transport in Kolkata including human rickshaws as seen here and the bright yellow Calcutta Taxis. Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
