Hindu Pilgrim on Cycle Rickshaw (India)
This old bare-feet guy was riding his rickshaw in Rajasthan (temperature 45 C / 120 F), heading for some holy place in Jammu on a Pilgrimage. This would probably take several months.

Strings of red flags on a ruined monument in the British Residency park in Lucknow (India)
This ruined building is called Nawabi Mahal [Tomb] or Nawabi Masjid [Mosque] or the Imambara. Not sure what the correct name is.
If you have more information about the Nawabi Mahal, please post a comment!

Developed directly from Boeing's landmark 367-80 prototype, the KC-135 has been in USAF service since 1957. They were originally Strategic Air Command assets, intended to get nuclear bombers deeper into the Soviet Union, but have since refueled just about everything in the Air Force's inventory, not to mention all the special mission variants.

My wife and I had some free time so we decided to drive down to Las Vegas for the Red Flag exercise in mid-March 2025. The weather forecast was good and there seemed to be a decent line-up of participating aircraft. Unfortunately both items fell short. The sky conditions were excellent but the weather sucked. Very high winds affected some of the fighters. The first afternoon we were there all F-16s and F-35s were grounded due to crosswinds. Also unfortunate was that Flex departures were cancelled at the last minute so the planes had to do a straight out departure - this sucked for photographers. In the late afternoon the recovery shifted to landings over Cheyenne Avenue. This was our first visit there in about a year and we couldn't believe the change. It was a mix of a homeless camp, scrap yard, bombed out Gaza, and just a totally trashy area. Burned out cars and car parts were everywhere. We didn't feel safe there despite being among other plane spotters. Wow. I took these photos in mid-March 2025.
Re aircraft activity - it seemed a lot lower than at prior Red Flags. There were a lot of Nellis resident aircraft but not too many visitors. It was a decent trip but not a great one.

Small Hindu shrine in a forest on an ancient trail high above the Auli ski resort near Joshimath (India)
There was many brass bells and red flags around the shrine. It must be quite old, on an ancient stone-paved trail going to some high pastures near the ridge of the mountain.
