I was told in no uncertain terms that my camera is not welcome!
iPhones are great in that sense: switch to silent, pretend to talk on the phone
and when the "butler/security guard" at the door isn't looking,
snap away!


For Linda, on her birthday today:

This beautiful spot is enjoyed by the local bird life as well, with the peacocks and guinea fowls taking prime position, being fed by all the families who live along the river. ...
