Landing at Bombay and moving 400 miles to the north we are at Mount Abu, noted for the famous Dilwara temple. This one was built by two brothers 700 years ago. It si said to have taken 14 years and $10,000,000 to build. It is a Jain temple; the Jains are sometimes classified as a sect of Buddhists, but they were founded separately by a contemporary of Buddah. Their system is a philosophy rather than a religion, and like Buddhists they can scarcely be said to have a God. But the temple-building passion is with them and they have hundreds of the most costly sanctuaries.
The sculptures in the interior of this temple show the high water mark of the Hindu workers in marble. Fergusson, who is the standard on Indian architecture, is unstinted in his praise of the ornamental work of this temple. He says: "For innate delicacy of carving and beauty of detail it stands almost unrivalled even in the land of patient and lavish labor."
Northeast of Mount Abu, 423 miles by rail, is Agra, one of the superb capitals of the Grand Moguls. Its supreme glory is the Taj Mahal -- the lovliest gem on the bosom of Earth. Those who are favored of heaven to visit the matchless tomb personally understand the feelings of Lady Sleeman, who said she would willingly die tomorrow to have such a monument. From the gate, from the garden, from the Jumna River, by sunlight or monlight (sic), the Taj is glorious - an undying vision, an immortality.
As we are half way round the world, let us tarry a littlewhile at the Mogul Capital, before passing the Tartar cap- (unreadable)
This was taken on Keystone avenue on the south side of Indianapolis. I was practically standing in the street while taking this picture. Next time I think I will take this picture from just north of this location.
I processed this picture differently than the previous picture on Keystone Ave. This picture has more blur and a darker sky. I haven't decided if I prefer the darker sky or the blue sky.

I spent the 4-6 of the month with my family and family friend in Dillon, Colorado at Keystone Resort for a short vacation! We skied and hung out in the hot tub in our condo for a couple of days. It was a beautiful, nice break from Kansas.

Keystone is a town in the Black Hills region of Pennington County, South Dakota, United States. The population was 337 at the 2010 census. It had its origins in 1883 as a mining town, and has since transformed itself into a resort town, serving the needs of the millions of visitors to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, which is located just beyond city limits.
Among its tourist attractions is the Black Hills Central Railroad, built in 1900 for Black Hills gold. It now operates passenger trains pulled by preserved steam locomotives.
Carrie Ingalls (sister of Little House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder) spent a significant part of her adult life there, living with her husband David N. Swanzey and his children. Her sister Mary Ingalls lived with them for a while and died here in 1928.
This town was one of the filming locations for the Columbia Pictures 1994 comedy film North.

A particularly appealing feature of the High Lane Limekiln is this carved keystone in the arch of the draw hole.
The front door of the Alamo in San Antonio Texas is surrounded bu an impressive archway. On the keystone of the ornate arch there is an intertwined inscription that contains a M and a R but the rest of the inscription is harder to make out and is subject to interpretation. In fact this is the statement made on www.TheAlamo.com , the official website. " There are conflicting views as to what it says. According to Charles Ramsdell, an early San Antonio historian, the carving on the keystone bears the date "1758" and the monogram "Ave Maria." [1] Another early historian, Leonora Bennett, contends the monogram is composed of the letters "M.A.R." which stand for "Maria Angelorum Regina" or Mary Queen of Angels. According to Bennett, the initials "N.O.D." also appear on the keystone, signifying "Nationum Omnium Domina" or Mistress of All Nations. [2]A third explanation appears in Jacinto Quirarte’s The Art and Architecture of the Texas Missions (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2002, pages 62-64). According to artist/historian Mardith Schuetz-Miller, the intertwined letters are “AVMR” and stand for Ave Maria or Hail Mary. "
What do you think it says? I don't see 1758. It looks like 510K to me??? I have been to the Alamo several times and didn't know about the differing opinions on what the keystone inscription says until after this last visit. Next time i will take some more detailed photos with higher definition of the keystone. This is a crop from a image of the entire doorway. I need to take some closeups of the keystone itself. Always next time.
I will be using this camera in week 484 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

NS 7203, one of the few SD80MAC's leads NS 212 out of the yard through CP Howell. The SD80MAC's usually are confined to Pennsylvania and rarely get out, so it was a treat to see one leading on a warm Atlanta morning.
The gas-strut operated entry door eliminates those cheap plastic door clips that can break or tear out.
