DAILY PHOTO: The Erotic Artwork of Khajuraho
Title: “A kiss so good his head exploded” Taken at Khajuraho on October 22, 2015
If it’s not apparent from the title, this post features sculptures of a graphic nature. If you tend toward the puritanical, turn back now or be introduced to the wild side of ancient Indian sexual positions.
I love the theme of covering one’s eyes–just not all that carefully.

Just in case you’ve never seen a “Have shirt? Have Shoes? No Service!” sign. Here’s one.

DAILY PHOTO: A Horde in Short Shorts
Taken on June 26, 2015 at Nek Chand Rock Garden in Chandigarh
What’s interesting about this batch of statues at Nek Chand is that nobody wears shorts in India (let alone short shorts.) If you see someone in shorts, you can be certain they’re either a tourist or part of a very specific demographic (i.e. 20 to 25 year olds of middle / upper-middle class backgrounds whose all-time favorite television show is either “Big Bang Theory” or “How I Met Your Mother.”)
Incidentally, the Nek Chand Rock Garden is the highlight of a trip to Chandigarh, and shouldn’t be missed. It’s a labyrinthine park made out of recycled materials. A lot of these materials–particularly for the early phases of the project–came from the villages that had been torn down to make room for the new city. On the order of fifty villages were razed so that India’s premier planned city could come to fruition.

DAILY PHOTO: Nude Sculpture [Nude Bowling Trophy Topper?]
Taken in December of 2014 in Vác, Hungary
I took this photo near the Danube in Vác. I’m not sure what the thing that looks like bowling pin is supposed to be (hence the Nude Bowling Trophy Topper comment.) Maybe it’s supposed to be a vase. At any rate, it’s a nifty work of art.
