The view or two from my "office"

I have been driving past this for a while & finally got organised to take a photo-I don't recall seeing one of such height before

Wow! Looks like a magazine photo shoot.

Must have struck a near perfect day John.

I have subsequently queried the guide about the clarity of the day. He said it was neither good nor bad - 'average' in his words. Apparently the clearest days are in summer - around May-June.
 
Hindu cremations on the bank of the Ganges, Varanasi, India this evening.

I'm not entirely sure I want to ask this, but surely those open fires are not cremations? Are they just to set the mood :shock: and there are proper high temperature facilities there?

They are very definitely cremations. It's been done like this here for thousands of years. Varanasi is the Hindu holiest city - and you ain't seen India until you come here, I might add :shock:.

Yep. They are cremations in the full sense of the word. Bali has symbolic cremations - just as well as they are sometimes on the beach. :o
