Delhi India Relief Stations Urinals

The last time I was in India was July 2008 for about 3 days, only for business on three very hot summer days... hunkered down in a suppliers air conditioned office. No time for photography and no opportunities to see if things had changed much. What you see in the photo is actually a "change" for the better. Previously men would just urinate against walls near the sidewalk...they still did as these "Relief Stations" were rare in the 1990s which is why I thought it "photo worthy".

Iron Pillar in Delhi, India

Iron Pillar in Delhi, India

All Rights Preserved

I just looked up the details which are interesting; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_pillar_of_Delhi
The photo of the pillar shows it surrounded by protective fence now. The fence went up in 1997.
From link;
"A fence was erected around the pillar in 1997 in response to damage caused by visitors. There is a popular tradition that it was considered good luck if one could stand with one's back to the pillar and make one's hands meet behind it. The practice led to significant wear and visible discoloration on the lower portion of the pillar."
Since I don't remember successfully putting my arms around it, I likely did not.

Monet's gardens are beautiful.

If taking a train from Paris to Giverny... from my experience don't try to pronounce "Giverny" unless fluent in French. You will get your train ticket significantly faster if you write "Giverny" on a piece of paper and hand it to the ticket person.
