Kanheri caves

! HAPPY 75th INDEPENDENCE DAY INDIA !

Between a rock and a hard place. The Kanheri caves.

The Kanheri Caves are a group of caves and rock-cut monuments cut into a massive basalt outcrop in the forests of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, on the former island of Salsette in the western outskirts of Mumbai, India. They contain Buddhist sculptures and relief carvings, paintings and inscriptions, dating from the 1st century CE to the 10th century CE. Kanheri comes from the Sanskrit Krishnagiri, which means black mountain. Wikipedia.

No Parking

Two signs on a pole in the Bandra Kurla Complex. The 1st one says you can't park here and the 2nd one tells you where to park and at what cost. Smart advertising for a Pay and Park.

Blind in one eye, this pupper has been adopted by the local optician in Bandra east. Very adorable and loving.
