Hello to the Undead Thread from New Delhi! Been a busy week, thankfully over. They pick me up in a couple of hours (just after noon) for an afternoon of shopping and touring New Delhi, then it's dinner and off to the airport for the 1 AM flight to Chicago: first stop on the way home, arriving some 40+ hours from now.

Don't know when I'll be back in; maybe Saturday if I'm lucky and not too wiped out.

In the meantime, some pictures from a couple of days ago. The first two are of Delhi's (a href="http://asi.nic.in/qutab.html">Qutb Minar (spire, think "minaret") -- an absolutely amazing tower some 800 years old. The carvings (in the second picture) are very Islamic in nature. The third picture was taken from the Lotus Temple (Baha'i); conditions were very poor for a photo of it, but there were these other towers in the distance -- a temple or monument or some such to one of the gods. I may go there today...

BTW, in the first photo there's a bit of telephoto effect; the people in the picture would be about a third that height standing next to the minar.

Man, am I glad I don't have to do what you're doing! I'd be dead in six months!

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for stopping in!
