Everywhere so far

The entrance to Gyuto Monastery in Dharamshala

Samy. He said he would only let me take a picture of him if I let him wear my glasses for it. Deal. And as a parting gift he gave me a necklace he had made.

This is the shot everyone wants….

Our view from the 9,500ft (or 2,850meter) summit of Triund plateau

The view from our boat’s porch

The Taj Mahal as it first appears through the entry gate

The Wadi Rum stretched seemingly forever in any direction

paddling in towards one of the produce markets

Bridge over the Ganges in Laxmanjulah, the power of the river is very deceptive

Houses roll over each other on the hill side

Spirit of the Sikh soldier, by my grandfather Sukhdev Dail (Sukhi) and his brother Jagmohan (Uncle Ji)

The 16,000ft snowcaps of the Tian Shan mountains just south of the capital city of Bishkek, at only 2,000ft

McLeod Ganj

A wild camel scurrying away

One of the small classes at Greenway

Returning the flag of India to the Border Security Guard’s office

…continue and continue…

Crazy Himalayan roads

Laxmanjulah Bridge

Coming through the canyon to catch a first glimpse of the Treasury

Checking out the local market in Hauz Kaus

Sunset after the rainstorm in McLeod Ganj

The entire faculty and student body of Greenway kindergarten

Looking out at Dal Lake from where the wetlands end and the water spreads uninterrupted in all directions

Shikaras sitting still as a motorboat passes them

Left to right, Sombrit, Manjinder, Baraj, and Monu

Paddling into town

Practicing my “J”

Grandstands at the Wagah- Attari Border

He totally stole somebody’s banana

My view from the grandstands

The view from our guest house. Mon Peak of the Dhalaudhars

The interior of our houseboat. Amanda and I couldn’t believe the deal we received. Look at the rugs, the ceiling, the furniture. Somehow we had this boat all to ourselves for two days.

Niki, the ball- stealing lovable lab

The village of Rama

The Greyhound in full sprint

The front facade of the Jama Masjid, standing in the elevated courtyard used for prayer

The Royal Tombs in the morning light

The Corinthian Tomb

A beautiful vantage point. My safari group is below for perspective

Thousands come every day to watch the border between India and Pakistan close

The lowering of both Pakistan and India’s flags

Amanda in front of the water fall

The Golden Temple

The Monastery

Looking out from Amin’s cafe

Monu (in the cap) and Uncle Ji (on the right) talking with the farm hands

Anything that makes it easier to get a view like this is sure to be a lifelong passion

Shikaras bobbing across the placid water

Front entrance to the massive Lal Qila, or Red Fort

The only photo I took. Without any description it’s hard to tell anything at all is happening

Amanda enjoying the sunset

Manjinder making some delicious chapati

Keep going up, and up, and….

On the Mount of the Olives overlooking Jerusalem

This was the last place I could take photos, just as we were about to enter the monastery

The Weeping Wall

First ever Tuk- tuk (or Rikshaw) ride

There she is

One of the many patch jobs my bike has received. This one is from my Chuar Chra neighborhood mechanic, Dilzin, helping me attach my new clutch.

The center of Old Delhi

Heart of Laxmanjulah

I had a big and very loving host family in Bo

Normal foot traffic on the bridge. Pretty soon here I’m going to have to blog about the cows of India

The massive walls of the Red Fort…

The Treasury of Al Khazneh from above

The weather was slowly turning against us

A row of old house boats permanently moored

Communist buildings in Bishkek

Fading light

…This is the shot most people have to settle for

I love this shot of a couple boys hanging out on top of the Roman Amphitheater

Looking down at the madness of the markets of Old Delhi

Jama Masjid from the side, showing its central dome and minarets

I also had the pleasure of being in Jerusalem during election day; Herzog versus Netanyahu

I even got a picture and short article in the local paper

Punam in front of her Greenway Public Kindergarten

Ancient ruins atop the Amman citadel

The swap meet in the center of the city where all motorcycle sales, purchases, and maintenance happens

The Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount
