The coexistence--sometimes peaceful, sometimes not--of opposites in this city is a source of perpetual fascination. Here are a few details to illustrate what I'm seeing walking down streets full of living history.
A skeleton of a beautiful British home, with fine attention to detail in the wrap-around porches, now charred and sitting desolate on the corner of a non-descript road. Note the man sprawled out asleep next to this typical compact car.
A low wall next to my street, for those of you curious to see Tamil, the local language.
I love this iron lotus flower, hidden in a crumbling wall and nearly papered over by peeling announcemnts.
I like walking down out of the way side streets, where you see pretty details like this wooden door and bike missing a mirror.
Masala tea and time to journal, a perfect Sunday afternoon!
Now back to work for me, the start of another busy day and end of a very fast week!
