Some good friends, Ian and Deborah Reeves, have taken off for India where they plan to walk a good portion of the country. They started a blog with some amazing photography and equally thoughtful writing.Amidst their recent posts, as they begin their journey, I noticed their photo of a Ghandi Memorial located on the southern tip of India, in Kanyakumari. Of course, architecture that is foreign to someone can often appear to be toy-like, but there's no denying the playful design of this pink building looks like something out of Candy Land.
This all reminds me that I need to put in a special request to Ian and Deborah to snap some pics of toys and play as they go. I'll keep you posted.
thanks for the shout out scott. deborah and i both laughed when we first saw this building...it didn't seem to have the gravitas worthy of the man...but it really stands out in the town and in a weird way calls you to it. inside it's a mixture of muslim, christian and hindu architecture. it works. on a side note, it was flooded by the tsunami in 2004...but gandhi prevailed. yet again.
