Pigeons are odd birds. Common all over the world, especially in cities, they can be considered tourist attractions like in Venice's St. Marks Square, or considered a nuisance to city dwellers (myself included) who see them as flying rats. Still, any large flight of birds can make for a spectacular photo, such as today's Photo of the Day from Jaipur, Rajasthan in India. The added pops of color ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Today's image comes to us from Flickr user arunchs, who captured this visually striking shot inside the Hawa Mahal, a palace located in the city of Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan.

Arunch, the person who snapped ...Is Travel Causing the Planet's Demise?

I'm thinking back to years ago when I visited the Grand Canyon and had to compete with monstrous RVs for parking spots. But, then, there's the time I caved to luxury on a trek in Nepal. Four days in, I paid for a hot bucket of water for a "shower." Even though I had read ...Photo of the Day (5/6/06)
May 6th, 2006 at 6:45PM: Remember our friends Lee and Sachi over from TWINF? They set off to see the world through the world's experiences and clearly it seems they've been having a good time.
