Although I'd had two cups of egg coffee at the Blue Butterfly earlier in the day, and a complimentary cup of green tea, with rainy and gloomy weather outside, and with still over an hour to kill with nothing else to do, I decided to order another strong cup of coffee- regular black coffee without sugar this time, as I thought a caffeine fix would do me good. Here I am downstairs in the Blue Butterfly once again, having just finished my coffee. (Hanoi, Vietnam, Oct./ Nov. 2016)

Out of the shop roof tops which appear no more than two feet distant across the street, and the shiny decoration ribbons this structure suddenly appeared. This is the Darshani Deori (literally translates as Sighting Gate). This marks the spot from where Sri Guru Arjun and Sri Guru Hargobind would stand to view the Golden Temple. These are two of the earlier Sikh leaders, and this was the spot from where they could first sight the Harmandir Sahib/ Golden Temple. That gorgeous temple is behind us now, but in these modern times, no way anyone can see it from here- the streets are so congested! (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
This is one of the most congested segments of the Lakefront Trail.
The pedestrian path is cantilevered off the east side of the Lake Shore Drive bridge over the Chicago River and DuSable Harbor. It "broke" in September 2009 and a detour was made onto a travel lane.
The city installed metal plates over the open grates of the bridge deck, as well as a guardrail and reflective signs.

It's been a couple of years since I've suffered from allergies, but this year it's hit me pretty hard. Thank god for Benadryl!
Congested, noisy and smelly downtowns have found a new urbane way to treat their citizens and visitors - the fused grid network (see Wiki and photostream).
It combines normal all mobility mode streets with pedestrian-only streets that recapture the feeling and the ownership of the public realm. They offer tranquility, a relaxed canter and social space for casual encounters.
At the same time they amplify the opportunity for windowshoping and shopping undisturbed by the unpleasant intrusions of traffic.
Twice a day routine for the oldest dog Dimi. She is 13+ and has congestive heart failure. She has 2 tablets twice a day. And she will not eat a tablet (and I am not putting my fingers down a chihuahua's throat) so I crush the 2 tablets in a herb mincer I had (thank you Tupperware) and then pour the tablet powder into a spoon. Mix with some water to make a liquid, suck it up into the syringe (no needle) and then I squirt it into Dimi's mouth.
The brown tablet (she has 2 a day) costs $60 for 25 days worth and the white tablet (she has a half each time) costs $30 for 50 days worth.

Medicals keep the ball alive amid a congested midfield during a 34-5 defeat by Horden & Peterlee in rugby union's Durham & Northumberland One. The Newcastle-based visitors were outscored six tries to one on the league season's opening day as the hosts made a winning start to life at their new home, Eden Park, Peterlee. Horden, who over the summer changed their name to Horden & Peterlee, have agreed a 30-year lease with Peterlee Town Council for use of a venue used formerly by Peterlee Newtown FC, Peterlee Town FC and South Shields FC. Over six months, volunteers (the players, mostly) have transformed, inside and out, what was previously a rather drab, unkempt ground. The Horden club, founded in 1925, have moved a few hundred yards from their traditional home, Horden Welfare Park.

A remnant of the New Oneida Lake Canal. I revisited this site on my way to Rome recently. Frankly it looked about the same way as when I came through before except maybe a little more congested with weeds and whatnot. Now a little bit of history: This canal was a replacement for the smaller original canal. This new and enlarged canal was completed in 1877, after many years of governmental issues. It ran southwest of the former Oneida Lake Canal and would connect to the old Erie Canal in Durhamville. It would run nearly straight to Oneida Lake and would shorten the distance (of the old canal) by 2 miles. This new canal was located 100 feet west of Lake Road and the Canal Street junction. Unfortunately, this new route was plagued with problems due to poor craftsmanship and quicksand which created many breaches in the canal walls. There were very few boats that used this route as it was closed on an off in 1877 and 1878 and never really opened again. The canal was essentially abandoned with the property returning to the previous owners. This is perhaps one of the worst canal failures, both financially and in design in New York's history. It was open for so short a time and under such disastrous conditions that it scarcely counted as a factor in the system of navigation in the state. In its day this canal had 6 locks and was 4.8 miles going from Durhamville to Oneida Lake. Today there are two old locks still remaining from this old canal; both are located at the Oneida Lake Marina (along Route 31, near the four corners turnoff to Sylvan Beach), one of which is used as the foundation for their clubhouse. This photo was taken from Canal Street in Durhamville, NY. (rb 20)
The long white calyx hairs suggest Oxytropis besseyi. The congested head of 10 or fewer flowers and leaves with leaflets often numbering less than 11 suggest variety argophylla.

I thought it rude to simply point my dSLR into the tailoring shop and decided to say hi to the owner and ask him if it was Ok for me to photograph his establishment. He agreed immediately. And although the tailor was friendly enough, his hands were working non stop. Now that is dedication for you! I noticed that the tiny alley was called 'Jail Road', so I asked the tailor where the jail was- it appeared to be too congested a place to house a jail. Ah, that, he said, there was a jail further down at the end of the road during the time of Ranjit Singh. It's all gone now, but the street is still called Jail Street, he said. Now wanting to disturb him further, we moved on. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

Zooming down a North Berkeley side street to avoid a congested intersection, I found this. No owner in sight. (If this is some kind of repro, I'm gonna cry.)
Late morning on Monday, October 5, and we step off the train into yet another quite warm autumn day, this time in hectic Varanasi, at the eastern edge of Uttar Pradesh. Though we’d be going to Delhi/New Delhi on the noon train tomorrow, I didn’t realize at the time that this would be the last of my photo shooting in India for this trip. (We were in Delhi for roughly 48 hours, but I got sick from train food on the 18 hour journey between Varanasi & the capital. Since the capital seemed way too smoggy, dirty, congested, disorganized…I didn’t feel like I’d missed out terribly, though there were a few places I would have liked seeing there.)
I’ll finish this posting on a good note, though, and focus on Varanasi. Before getting there, I wasn’t terribly excited about the tourist attractions I’d read about, but that’s not why people come to Varanasi. Varanasi is to Hindus what Mecca & Medina are to Muslims, or Jerusalem to Christians. It’s their holiest city. On the banks of the Ganges, people come here to die, then have their ashes spread in the river.
Varanasi has a lot of poor and indigent people as well, who come and hope to be cremated and buried in the river, and there are a few places that serve as pseudo-hospices to help them. They tend to try to collect donations from anyone to afford to pay for the wood – it’s a specific wood they use for the cremation – so they can help these people.
So Varanasi is an interesting place. There are many ghats (ghat is like…a pier, or a place where you can access the river), and the most famous are probably Dashashwamedh Ghat (the liveliest and most colorful) and Manikarnika (the Burning Ghat). There are many other ghats, as well, and some have specific histories attached to them.
For me, the best plan was to stay in a hotel near the ghats in the Old City so we could enjoy the sunrise and stroll around. The Hotel Alka was my random choice, and it turned out to be good. It’s cheap, riverside, has a decent restaurant (though, as it’s a hotel restaurant, not as good as many of the others where we’d eaten in the past two weeks), and overall a comfortable room.
After getting checked in (and this place was pretty crowded), I took a shower, then headed off with a local guy who gave me a tour of the Old City. Now, a word on that… It’s not recommended that you go with any local who offers because most of them will steer you into various businesses, or towards people who are all too happy to try to get your money. I was very firm with this guy, though, and told him the maximum price I’d pay regardless of what he showed me, and that he should plan accordingly. He didn’t, and was a bit disappointed when I paid him exactly what I said I would.
The tour included stops at a few temples – they all started to look a bit alike after the second one – and at Manikarnika (one of the places where you’re herded and they try to make you feel guilty if you don’t fork over five million dollars to pay for everyone’s cremation). The last stop was at his boss’s store, well away from the old city, over in the Muslim Quarter, where I had to sit patiently through a whole lot of lecturing on textiles and their pleading that I buy the entire building. I tried to be as polite as possible with the last part, stating up front that I wouldn’t buy a thing before going in, though that disappointed them to no end. In the end, perhaps it’s better to go on your own…
After about four hours with my guide, it was already dusk and the city actually felt less safe than others. (There were a lot of police out and about.) It turns out that there wa s a religious ceremony that the police were banning this particular year for some reason, so there was a bit of tension. And since Varanasi isn’t a city that is lit up much at night, there wasn’t much to see, so I was glad to just get to my room and call it a day.
Waking early on Tuesday morning, I caught the sunrise over the Ganges, then wandered up and down the ghats for an hour or so. This really was an interesting experience as it seems the entire city comes to bathe in the river, and everyone seems pretty happy. There are plenty of boat tours, too, which I skipped, as I just wanted to take a walk.
After an hour or so of wandering the riverside, I went back to the Alka, had breakfast, and enjoyed my remaining few hours just watching the sun rise higher before heading to the train station for the unofficial (though still unbeknownst to me) end of this trip to India.
In hindsight, this was a terrific two weeks. Though I enjoyed Uttar Pradesh, I wouldn’t go out of my way to return here – unless going to different parts of the state, and I would certainly include a trip to Agra in that – but Rajasthan…I would gladly go back to anytime. However, India has a lot to offer, and I’m not sure if I’ll return here or go to different parts of the country. Anything is possible…
