Horizon



I was immediately drawn into the picturesque tranquility of this scene while I was driving by the lake. The picture has the character of belonging in an inspirational poster.

Tow



This picture is of an airplane tow that is used to back the plane out of its parking area and into the taxiway. It is pretty cool to see something that literally picks up the front end of an airplane every 35 minutes.

Monsoon



There's something really fascinating about driving in the rain. Never mind the reduced visibility and the the dangerous surface conditions. This picture was taken from the inside of my car, while driving in the rain.

NH 47



National Highway 47, between Ernakulam and Thrissur. Technically, according to international standards, this is a one lane road. But Indians don't believe in wasting any resources, which means that this road occasionally becomes a four lane road, and on very rare occasions, it becomes a three lane road, all three going in the same direction. If you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere else in the world.

Airplane Advisory



The contrast between the glossy finish of the decal and the textured seat back of this airline sight grabbed my attention. It also made me wonder if anyone actually reads this, though they definitely see it.

Pneumatics


These air tanks, valves and cylinders in this picture are part of a machine that I built. Air in a bottle never looked more beautiful to me.
