Eye opening pics

You probably know that I love dogs. I prefer full sized dogs, rather than the wanna-bees. But any dog is better than no dog. Well, almost any dog. When I was in Jodhpur the first time, I saw the ugliest dog I've ever laid eyes on. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me to document the sight. Wednesday morning in Nagpur, I saw another one. Maybe not the runner up to the previous. But certainly in the bottom 5 of the ugliest dogs I've seen.

I think she's supposed to have hair, but she looks bald. I think that led to a number of other problems: discoloration, white blotches which have burned in the tropical sun. That sun burn results in the impression of red skin with black/blue bloches. I think she could have been a beautiful dog. But alas.



Do you want his job?






At first glance, these scaffolds appear as flimsey as possible. But look closely at the cross bars. Do you see them anchored into the wall of the building? These scaffolds are built out of bamboo, which is very strong and anchored into the wall. I think they are very secure, perhaps more so than Western versions.






Still, I don't want his job and I respect anyone who can do this!





















In addition to the conference center hall of the previous post, these men are building an extension to the women's dormitory.
