San Francisco Tram

November 27, 2011

San Francisco’s F line, which runs the tourist route from the Embarcadero along Market Street to the Castro, uses historical tram cars bought mostly from other cities and restored. I love riding these beautiful old things, and taking photos and video inside them. This particular car was used in San Francisco itself in the 1960s,

Seen from an Indian Train

November 20, 2011

On the Shatabdi Express en route from Delhi to Dehra Dun. This was shot by Brendan – you wouldn’t catch me hanging out of a train this way!

Jackson Square, Testing YouTube’s Video Stabilization

November 19, 2011

This video is interesting for a technical reason: I tried YouTube’s image stabilization feature. It works well, with a few weird artifacts; you can see from what happens to the title now how jittery the original was. Ah, YouTube saved the original as well, so you can see for yourself:

November 17, 2011

Nighttime Music

November 13, 2011

We ended up at the Oak Wine bar to listen to Coco Robicheaux because of a personal connection to someone who was playing with him. Not my usual sort of scene: music to loud to enjoy conversation, but too much chatter to enjoy the music…

Urban Alwar

November 10, 2011

During the scooter taxi ride back to the Hill Fort. Along the way, our driver stopped a few times to hail friends (had stopped on the way in to pick up his wife and small daughter, both gaudy in festival finery). One of these friends asked curiously where we had come from and where we [...]

View from the Hill Fort, Kesroli

November 9, 2011

This is the view from one of the round towers of the fort on the village side. We look down in lordly splendor as perhaps its original owner did – although, in the 14th century, the sights and sounds would have been very different! Later, as dusk descended, we saw dozens of headlights on the road [...]

Chittering Chipmunk

November 8, 2011

Another example of Indian urban wildlife. I’ve seen these all over north India, but had always assumed that chittering noise was birds. This exemplar lives at the Red Fort, Agra – more photos of that to come!

Parrots at Humayun’s Tomb

November 7, 2011

Screechy, colorful parrots are common in both urban and rural India. Their bright green feathers make a particularly nice contrast to the ancient red sandstone of monuments like Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi.
