The killing of Osama Bin LadenI don't really know exactly what goes on in the world, because I mostly have to rely on what the media tell me, and one thing I'm confident of is that they don't tell me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But I'm also fairly confident that they are inexpert spinners of webs of deceit, and I think I can to some extent see through the fog. And I do know a few things about the world from my own experience, and the experiences of people I personally know and trust.

I don't know what Osama Bin Laden's motives were, because the media don't really tell me anything I can trust about things like that. But his choice (if it was his

Central India, 1983.

Looks like a Mercedes Benz LP1513 knock-off.

*coshipi Mar 24, 2010

Not a knock-off, but manufactured by Tata under licence from Mercedes - just as the Hindustan Ambassador, for many years just about the only car you could get in India, was an Austin Cambridge manufactured under licence.

I thought so.

O-o-o!!! What a great picture!!! I bet that for Hindus it's rather a common view, but for those who don't live in India... Thank you!

*coshipi Jul 24, 2004

Well, for Indians of any religion

- and not particularly for Hindus living in Canada, the US, or the UK, unless they're lucky enough to visit India frequently.

Your pictures of Israel are likewise appreciated - probably common enough scenes for you, but fascinating for non-Israelis. I'm looking forward to seeing your Moscow photos - I hope you got some! I see quite a few photos of Russia on here, but your view might be different, seeing things from an Israeli perspective.

As I've said yesturday in my Journal, I'm planning to put here some Moscow photos, but I can't say that I have a lot of them. Several shots were made especially for DA - classic views of the Moscow Kremlin and so on. Several were made in a very interesting park. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very friendly, and not always I have enough time. Anyway, I'll scan my films tomorrow and you can see some Moscow from me

And I gather Moscow people aren't so cheerful about being photographed as people in Israel? That's sad, but so be it.

~Cyclist Jul 26, 2004 Photographer

Oh, they're not cheerful at alll!!! Two musicians - that's all my catch!

And the older and more interesting parts of town aren't safe, or they've been knocked down?

~Cyclist Jul 26, 2004 Photographer

You know, old Moscow - it's not an old Jerusalem, and I can't take it with the same feelings. Though the old Moscow is much better than the new Moscow. Sometimes they try to restore old buildings, but sometimes they just knock them down and build something new. I saw how they knock down a huge hotel "Moscow" that stands just in front of the Kremlin! It wasn't a very beautiful building, but it was a some sort of an architecture memorial of the Stalin period. Now they want to build there a modern hotel with underground 10-floor parking!!!! I understand that this's very important for such a huge town like Moscow, for such a tourist "Mecca", but Moscow begins to look like New-York. It's not the best way, I think. People don't want Roma, Venice, Prague or London look like New-York - there's some special spirit in old Europe. Moscow looses it day by day.
