I had walked a bit off limits of the Ganasha Ratha monument in Mamalapuram and found dried grass full of shit. Indians like Sri Lankans consider many public places as public toilets and needing to do a little wee-wee I followed the trail. When I walked back towards the main area I saw this Muslim boy who was running and skipping like he didn’t have any cares in the world. I just stood and watched in awe and somewhere along that time I took a photo. Can’t really remember that I did, but I love the way it turned out. Reminds me of how careless life is supposed to be.
Mamalapuram is an old village south of Chennai in India. It’s rather touristy being as close as it is to the international Anna airport in Chennai, but at the same time it’s a village with a lot of charm. There are whole areas of old temples that one can visit and walk around in freely. The view is astonishing and the seaside is filled with small fishing boats waiting to go out and catch their big score.
Stone carvings is probably what Mamalapuram is mostly famous for and everywhere you go there are expert craftsmen sitting with chisels in their hand carving stone sculptures as if though they were working with butter. Truly amazing to see them practice their magic. From what I’ve heard a lot of the stone carvings you buy in the rest of India comes from here. Prices are also lower than in the rest of the country.

Elephant (Loxodonta africana) reaching as high as it can for a small branch of an acacia tree. I sure felt it was going to stand on its hind legs but it didn't. Image taken in Ruaha National Park of Tanzania.

My all time favorite MILW ROW sign. Too bad it was so vandalized. Looking east towards Watertown on the Madison line. April 1993

I wonder what did my ancestors think when they were in front of the beach... Is this the end of the world?
Out of all the days I pick to go and visit Pan Am's District 3, I happened to get lucky and catch a glimpse of an occurrence that doesn't happen all too often during this time of year. With daylight savings shortening a good amount of time for potential sunlight, it makes it quite difficult for buffs and railfans to capture late-afternoon trains in daylight. Somehow, the crew of this day's 23K was on duty at 1400 in AY (Ayer), giving us some good shots of the SD60E's in light (or at least what we had of it). Usually these guys will be rolling out of Ayer yard anywhere between 5-8 PM, which gives phots complete darkness and increases the difficulty of snapping a decent shot of the westbound intermodal, destined for Chicago, IL.
23K seen here, slowly rolls out of Ayer yard, having it's whole train clear yard limits before resuming track speed. On point, is a rebuilt SD60E, followed by another rebuilt locomotive (AC44C6M) which was sporting a Nathan P5 airhorn, and was sandwiched between another SD60E in MU mode, trailing behind the first 2 locomotives.

Budapest is the capital and most populous city of Hungary. It is the tenth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits and the second-largest city on the river Danube. The estimated population of the city in 2025 is 1,782,240. This includes the city's population and surrounding suburban areas, over a land area of about 525 square kilometres (203 square miles). Budapest, which is both a city and municipality, forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of 7,626 square kilometres (2,944 square miles) and a population of 3,019,479. It is a primate city, constituting 33% of the population of Hungary.
The history of Budapest began when an early Celtic settlement transformed into the Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century, but the area was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. Re-established Buda became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. The Battle of Mohács, in 1526, was followed by nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule. After the reconquest of Buda in 1686, the region entered a new age of prosperity, with Pest-Buda becoming a global city after the unification of Buda, Óbuda and Pest on 17 November 1873, with the name 'Budapest' given to the new capital. Budapest also became the co-capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. The city was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and the Battle of Budapest in 1945, as well as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Budapest is a global city with strengths in commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. Budapest is Hungary's financial centre. Budapest hosts the headquarters of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, the European Police College and the first foreign office of the China Investment Promotion Agency. Over 40 colleges and universities are located in Budapest, including Eötvös Loránd University, Corvinus University, Semmelweis University, University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Opened in 1896, the city's subway system, the Budapest Metro, serves 1.27 million, while the Budapest Tram Network serves 1.08 million passengers daily.
The central area of Budapest along the Danube is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has several notable monuments of classical architecture, including the Hungarian Parliament and the Buda Castle. The city also has around 80 geothermal springs, the largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building in the world. Budapest attracts around 12 million international tourists per year, making it a highly popular destination in Europe.
