My mother sent me some gorgeous photos she took of her neighborhood in semi-rural India. (Ahmednagar, two hours from Pune, Maharashtra.)
A Gul Mohur. They burst into bloom in summer.
Elephants are a rare sight in that state.
Sunrise.
Monkeys are rare, too.
Sunrise at the reservoir.

Lovely photos. And they hit me with a pang of... homesickness?
Which is insane. Pune & surroundings have never been home, I saw more Gul-mohars in Saudi Arabia than I ever have in India (our street was lined with 'em), and I've been to Ahmednagar maybe once.
And yet.
