DAILY PHOTO: Living in the Past
Take in the summer of 2011 in Hungary.
These were taken at a homestead restoration in Western Hungary in the area called the Őrség. This is how one might have lived in the late 18th century.

DAILY PHOTO: Thai Yoga Bodywork Percussion
Taken Friday the 13th of June in 2014 in Bangalore.
I haven’t been traveling much lately (or even getting far beyond commutes to the yoga studio, kalari, etc.) so I’m resorting to posting pics of what I’m doing in my day-to-day life as Daily Photos. The past few days I’ve been refreshing my training in the side, prone, and seated sequences of Thai Yoga Bodywork (Nuad Bo Rarn) at the Inner Mountain School of Healing Arts.
This photo is taken at the end of the seated sequence as a series of percussive actions are applied to the back.

DAILY PHOTO: Door-to-Door Self-Flagellation
Taken June 12, 2014 in Bhuvaneshwarinagar.
From the “only-in-India” files, here are a couple of photos a of a man who travels door to door whipping himself–or rather pretending to–with the accompaniment of a bongo soloist–to make it groovier, I presume. The lower photo is mid whip-crack, and the top one gets the bongoist in the picture.
For a nominal tip you can take their picture. It’s interesting–to say the least. I thought self-whipping was unique to some Catholic (e.g. Opus Dei) and Islamic sects, but you learn something new ever day. It’s a little out of character in a religion that advocates non-violence (against self as well as others) but as has been said many times, “The one thing you can say about India upon which everyone can agree is that everything and its opposite is true of India.”

DAILY PHOTO: Creepy Flagpole Holder?
Taken in March of 2014 in Madikeri
We decided that the “socket” in this equine’s anatomical correctness–so to speak–was for insertion of a flag pole. Which seems mildly inappropriate and–given the horse’s sly stare and broad grin–more than a little creepy. Perhaps that was not the intention at all, but one has to assume there’s a reason he wasn’t given “the Ken doll.”

DAILY PHOTO: Shahi Masjid Floating Mosque
Taken in October of 2014 in Delhi.
This structure isn’t really floating–as far as I know–but it looks like it is. It’s in New Delhi off the Rajpath between the President’s abode and the India Gate.
