Album: Karnataka, South India in 2001

My favorite state in India, and a highlight of my year of travels. From ancient ruins left from the start of the Hindu empire, to hidden white sand beaches, bamboo huts, pristine forest, and an IT technology explosion. Beaches of Gokarna plus Hampi, Bangalore, Mysore, Bandipur and Nagarhole National Park, plus Ooty (which is actually in Tamil Nadu, but felt like Karnataka too). If you visit India I highly recommend visiting this part of the country.

Highlight for Album: Varanassi, the City of Lights
 
Album: Varanassi, the City of Lights

Possibly the most holy city in India, and a focal point of the sacred river Ganges. This city is perhaps the greatest assalt to one's senses of anywhere in the entire world. I could only take 3 days of it; it is everthing India, good and bad in the extreme.

Some delightful hill stations and national parks are in Tamil Nadu, from the Ooty hill station to Bandipur and Nagrihole national parks, where I saw wild elephants and heard wild tigers in the distance. Also discovered a town of foreigners, Auroville, that has had self-governance since the 1960s (with mixed results).

About the pictures

What is redbeet?

This is my retro website, a homepage that dates back to the day when the Web was still coded with text editors, well-worn keyboards, elbow grease and Unix servers... the guts all neatly hidden from sight thanks to hyperlinks.
