Seen here at Arriva's Tavistock Street, Dunstable depot on a cold morning in February 2001 are several different vehicles. A native Alexander bodied Leyland Olympian G657 UPP is seen being run up for a day's service whilst alongside an ex-County Bus Leyland Lynx H258 GEV and a Routemaster WLT 966 are seen stored. The reasons for the Routemaster being there are not clear although photographic evidence on Flickr indicates that it has been re-registered LSL 827 and converted to a non-psv computer bus by the following year.
This is what the difference looks like between the finished image of the West Side Park and the original image. Unfortunately I forgot I cropped the final image so things don't really match up...
Scavenge Challenge - Feb 2013 - Scavchal #1 - Spot the differences! - Make two shots using the same framing with 8 differences (8 - no more, no less) such as added items, items removed, items turned left or right, tipped upside down, etc. and post the two images as a diptych. Differences should be large enough to see without enlarging the photos excessively.
Solutions should be submitted to the photographer by Flickrmail ONLY (do not post them in comments!) At the end of the month or when a number of correct solutions have been received, the photographer should post a list of the differences with the image.
113 Pictures in 2013 - #16 - Spot the difference (present two images in a diptych with one or more differences to see if others can spot the differences).
In the spirit of good fun - please send me your answers by Flickrmail - not in comments!
Today it's my turn to pick a group for FGR, so I chose Spot the Difference - with the added bonus that these pics can also go into the Diptychs group.
Can you spot the differences? Have a look at the large version and then put notes on the ones you can see.
I may do another version later today if I get more time.

BACKSTORY: We didn't erase the whiteboard between Clint's birthday party and Carolyn's birthday party, so this is a combination of parties.
the upper part has short rows at the half brioche. I left them out at the lower part so that the back will be a little longer than the fronts.
Last stop in Rajasthan: Udaipur. Rajasthan is known for its palaces, forts, and history. Udaipur is no exception. It doesn’t have a “kingdom” to speak of as Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaisalmer did, but there is a City Palace, a museum now, which happens to be the state’s largest with a façade 244 meters long and 30 meters high. The palace was begun by the city’s founder, Maharaja Udai Singh II, and completed by subsequent maharanas. There is a uniformity to the palace and it’s not terribly different from some of the others we’d seen: cupolas, courtyards, balconies, towers. All in all, it’s a nice visit and certainly a “must see” if you have a tourist checklist for this town.
The biggest difference between Udaipur and the previous cities we’d visited is the setting. In southern Rajsasthan, Udaipur (population around half million) is nestled among the Aravalli Hills and is on the eastern shore of Lake Pichola. Now, this lake was always here, but not quite at these dimensions. It was enlarged by Maharana Udai Singh II (city founder) to its current size of 4 km (north-south) by 3 km (east-west) by flooding the village of Picholi. Being manmade (or…man-enlarged), it’s shallow and can dry up completely during severe droughts.
Because of its setting, Udaipur is considered one of the most romantic spots in India and, while I haven’t seen much of India, I can certainly say that I can see how this could/would be a romantic spot. My Udaipur experience began when we arrived via overnight bus around 4:00 in the morning on Friday, October 2.
Udaipur was one of the cities where I was not able to actually reserve a guesthouse, but I did have one in mind (Lal Ghat Guesthouse) and we hopped in a tuktuk and made our way there now. Bless their souls and wonderful Indian hospitality for opening the door before the sun had come up and giving us a comfortable – though like most other places, bare necessities – room. (I’m always pleased and impressed, both in China and India, that hotels allow you to check in very early without charging an extra day.)
Needing a few hours of actual sleep, since the bus sleepers felt more like a sarcophagus than a sleeper, we got a slightly late-morning start to the day. The Lal Ghat Guesthouse is located just north of City Palace and on the shores of Lake Pichola. From our room, if you crane your neck just a little bit, you could see the lake (with some flowers in bloom) and the Lake Palace. More on that later.
For now, the first order of business was to find food. I can’t recall the name of the restaurant, but I enjoyed it so much I ate there a second time on my own. It was a few doors south of the guesthouse and, like the guesthouse, was lakeside and afforded wonderful views. Fortified by a delicious lunch of chicken biriyani and reshmi chicken, we made our way to the City Palace (and Palace Museum) and wandered around there for a while.
It’s a very nice palace, mind you, but I was beginning to become a bit anesthetized to grandiose palaces by this point, having been to Jaipur, Jaisalmer, and Jodhpur in the past seven days. Though this is the largest, it didn’t rank as my favorite. (Jaisalmer Fort was my favorite as it’s a living fort, followed by Mehrangarh in Jodhpur, then City Palace here in Udaipur; Jaipur didn’t really have a comparable palace to speak of, though it’s the capital of the state.)
Though I was starting to suffer palace fatigue, I still did enjoy myself quite a bit, though I know I was rushing a little. I was more interested in finding “unique” here, which was only with views of the lake. Other than that, it was standard fare for palace museums with the women’s quarters, various displays, and so on. However, it is a pretty building, and I’m certainly glad to have gone there.
From City Palace, we walked out the south gate to take a boat ride around Lake Pichola. This is where Udaipur comes into play in pop culture. James Bond fans may recognize the scenery around Udaipur and Lake Pichola in particular as the main setting from the movie Octopussy. (It was said to have been an Afghan palace in Octopussy.) You’d also have to be a pretty die hard 007 fan to have seen that movie, I think; it’s usually ranked among the worst of the Bond franchise. But, I digress…
There are really two islands in the middle of Lake Pichola: Jagniwas with its Lake Palace Hotel (Taj Lake Palace) and Jagmandir with its own palace. I’ll start with Jagniwas. It’s not a private island, but you can only go there if you are a guest of the hotel…with rooms that start from 40,000 rupees/night. (I don’t know the high end, but that translates to close to 4,000 RMB or over $600 USD/night for the cheapest available. I’ve seen pictures and, while beautiful, I’m not Daddy Warbucks, and don’t expect I ever will be…so will just settle for their promotional pictures on their website: www.tajhotels.com .)
Jagmandir, on the other hand, is an island you can visit, and we did. The boat left the mooring south of City Palace, went northward to give a close-up view of City Palace from the lake, along with Bagore-ki-Haveli up to the north end before veering south and around Jagniwas and docking at the north end of Jagmandir, 800 meters south of Jagniwas (and roughly in the west central part of the lake).
Jagmandir’s palace was built in 1620 by Maharana Karan Singh, and was expanded by his successor, Maharana Jagat Singh. Not much has changed from those days until recently when it was convereted into a small hotel (nothing like the neighboring Taj Lake Hotel). For the Bond aficionados, the Taj Lake Hotel was the main palace of Octopussy, and I believe Jagmandir’s palace is where Bond stayed in the movie. There was also some filming at the nearby Monsoon Palace, but we didn’t have the time to visit there.
Jagmandir didn’t offer much at all in the way of things to do. Once you get to the island, you’re pretty much limited to wandering around an interior palace courtyard (where you can have very, very overpriced drinks and possibly a bite to eat, though the drink prices kept me from looking further, so I’m not certain). After staying in the courtyard as long as you’d like – and the views from and in the courtyard are lovely, though don’t require too much time or effort – you can walk outside to the boat dock where there is also an outer garden that’s quite pleasing, and affords beautiful views of the wooded Aravalli Hills in the west.
After an hour or two on Jagmandir, we finally took a boat back to the mainland (a whole 10-15 minute ride, tops), and then tooled around the area near City Palace and the guesthouse. We eventually had dinner at a rooftop restaurant down the lane from where we stayed which had a nice view of the lake with its shimmering palaces (well-lit by night) and a bit of a nice view for sunset. The best sunset views, I would say, would have been from the islands, though – especially Jagniwas – as you could have an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the hills with the lake in the foreground. The food at the restaurant, like most every other restaurant we ate at, was spectacular. It was a good way to end the first day in Udaipur.
Saturday morning came along and we didn’t have much planned. I was actually glad to spend the majority of the day alone. After running a few errands, I went to Jagdish Temple. This is an “Indo-Aryan temple..built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1651. The wonderfully carved main structure enshrines a black stone image of Vishnu as Jagannath, Lord of the Universe; there’s a brass image of the Garuda (Vishnu’s man-bird vehicle) in a shrine facing the main structure.” (Per Lonely Planet India.) This is one of the smallest temples I’ve ever been to, though the details were delightful. I was pretty impressed with how intricate the temples were both here and at Jaisalmer.
After a quick half hour at Jagdish Temple, I went back to roaming the streets of Udaipur, eventually finding my intended destination, the Bagore-ki-Haveli. This is a pretty large haveli in the Gangaur Ghat area. It was built by a Mewar prime minister and has 138 carefully restored rooms around courtyards on three levels. These days, it’s kind of a klitschy museum. There are a few rooms that have interesting exhibits of Indian musical instruments (a sitar, obviously, and many others that I don’t recall the names of), and exhibits with turbans – including the world’s biggest turban. (This, by the way, was a bit strange; don’t know why anyone would want such a huge turban. Anyway, it was in a glass case, didn’t photograph terribly well, and none of us are the worse off for that.) The nicest part about this haveli is that, like the guesthouse, it was on the water’s edge, so had a few rather pleasant views.
After finishing up here, I wandered back to the previous day’s restaurant for lunch (and would even eat dinner there on Saturday night; they were probably happy with me…). For either lunch or dinner, I had hariyali murg tikka and cheese naan. Now…I would gladly eat murg tikka (chicken pieces generally made in a tandoor) any day of the week. Hariyali…is a coriander-yogurt-mint marinade. It’s heavenly. I really need to learn how to make that one, though I don’t really have any way to make tandoori chicken.
The afternoon and early evening was spent eating very well and relaxing, and really waiting for the last thing I had planned for Udaipur: Dharohar. This is a cultural event at the Bagore-ki-Haveli that hosts Rajasthani folk dancing, singing, performance, and so on. It’s an hour long and pretty interesting, in addition to being in a nice setting.
Before bidding farewell to Udaipur, I returned for the last time to Lake Pichola to try to get a few pictures of the Lake Palace and Jagmandir by night. A few turned out alright, but not spectacularly.
All told, Rajasthan was an absolutely brilliant way to spend a week, and I was looking forward to the last few days in Uttar Pradesh, beginning with the Taj Mahal in Agra after yet another long overnight train ride across the Indian countryside.

Yay! I finally got to play along with FGR again!
This is for Spot the Difference and Diptychs, for FGR today.
Okay...there are 6 differences (besides the slight tilt of my head - didn't mean to do that).
Can you figure them out? Leave notes! :)
I'm now subtracting 9 in the 9th position from the left. This is done in 2 steps: subtract 10, add 1. In this step I subtract 10 by subtracting 1 in the 8th position from the left.

1. Are there any big differences between your culture and American culture?
Parents are stricter. One of the main differences I think is dating. Over there, it's not really something people do unless they're considering marriage. You just have to like one person and no one else, basically. There also has to be a third party present whenever they "go out." My parents had an arranged marriage, but that's a bit outdated even there now, though it still happens occasionally.
2. What do parents in your culture expect of their children?
They expect respect. More responsibility towards family. Also, the stress is highly put on education. When parents get older, they expect their children to be there to take care of them. No one is sent to a nursing home. Children are also expected to do well in their studies and be successful. We always joke around that all Bengali parents want their children to be doctors and engineers (but that is a bit of a stereotype).
3. In your country do women have all the same opportunities as men?/ Are men and women treated the same?
Men have more opportunities. Men are generally given more preferences.
4. How are gender roles different in your culture than in the US?
People expect domestic work to be done primarily by women. Men are the main "breadwinners" of the family.
5. Do you feel like it was hard to adapt to American culture?
(Had to ask my mom): Not really... Bangladesh is aware of American culture because of American media being aired there. And actually, you will see a lot of American businesses and what not like Pizza Hut and McDonald's over there. My mom grew up in a big city, and a lot of her family was already here by the time she got here, so there wasn't much of a culture shock (she noted that most of the time, there is one, but she isn't the best example).
6. Does your culture expect you to be like everyone else or act as an individual?
Leaning more towards being like everybody else.

A few differences between a dance recital and a dance competition is that:
--there are no judges
--a recital is generally just one studio
--all skill levels are highlighted)
Shooting a recital is a fun change of pace. I haven't done one for a couple years, so I was excited to get hired to do one!

This year’s awardees were honored during a ceremony that connected winners across the country via video teleconferences at BLM offices in several states and in Washington, D.C.
These are really amazing. I would love to see the machine that loads dirt into this baby. I would also love to hear this fired up!
See the hut and the morden building. The difference between rich and poor is getting wider and wider in urban.
Notice that their life is simple, less complex and happy most of the times...

Major differences are a lower, more pontier front, bigger sized rear wheels/ wheel arches and an additional, small air opening in the lower sills. Right above the original is a redesigned suggestion in factory wheels spec, while the following, higher suggestions are in after market wheel designs for a more differentiating aspect of the redesign. I find the original design's front (including headlights and air openings ) a tad high. I also find the high rear (understandingly necessary for aerodynamic and lift forces needs) overwhelming standard sized wheels as the front; suggesting a De Tomaso Mangusta- like treatment of a bigger rear wheel formula. May not be practical, but in my opinion largely needed. This is not a Hyundai; to me, a Corvette should always have a big wheel/ body ratio design.
