After lunch it was off to see Stirling University, such a beautiful campus at the foot of Abbey Craig and then the Wallace Monument which is at the top of Abbey Craig.
But first, loving the chimneys!

Back to Scotland now.
After the garden tea party, we walked through beautiful, scenic neighbourhoods to Stirling’s Top of the Town and did a little window shopping. Our last and most anticipated stop: No. 2 Baker Street for my first taste of Guinness EXTRA Cold. There should be no other kind.
(The kid on the cell phone was so enthusiastically yelling, it made us laugh).
















Can’t leave Glasgow without a couple from Glasgow Cathedral, the oldest building in Glasgow (13th century), with its Tomb of St. Kentigern or St. Mungo as he was known as.


While I get my act together to upload Scotland and Paris photos, I thought I’d do a post on New Orleans, from summer ’08.



Speaking of paint…here are more samples of colourful India.
Could make for a good Benjamin Moore ad, no?


Here’s my Man With Cart (à la Hobography)

Monkeys are abundant in India, roaming freely around streets and temples; and sometimes used as entertainment in monkey shows.
This was a bit of a sad sight on Marine Drive in Bombay.

In Jaipur, at the Jaigarh Fort, monkeys were simply hanging about in trees and walking along the tops of the palace walls.

They look cute, but apparently wreck havoc in the city. Read this story on the monkeys of Jaipur, it’s quite alarming. It can’t be easy living with these creatures, but because monkeys are considered sacred, they cannot be harmed and are dealt with by monkey-catchers!
For a change, some black and white shots, from Delhi, Kerala and Agra.
