The great big Coorgi wedding

The Indian wedding is a splash of colour, a blur of reds, yellows, greens and dazzling gold. It is the finest advertisement of Indian hospitality with guests numbering in the hundreds, sometimes entire villages. This detail I am careful not to miss in any conversations about marriage here in London, for the sheer amusement of seeing jaws drop once the comprehension of the scale of the wedding hits the listener. The pageantry of the processions stays in the mind long after the wedding is over – the Mehendi, The Food, The Drink, the Dancing and then the innumerable rituals steeped in traditions and kept alive through the ages, handed down from one generation to the next.

Weddings vary in form and structure depending on the state the bride and groom are from. And so the ‘Indian wedding experience’ is as diverse as they come.

Picture Postcards: Funny photo from Bangkok, Thailand

The occasional need to get to a certain room quickly is universal, so we thought this photo of a Bangkok toilet sign was quite funny. It was sent in my our contributor Kelly Pohorelic in Canada.

So, if you have any photos you want to contribute, as always, please just pop them in our Flickr group with a good decription on them. If you are not on Flickr, you can still contribute.

Picture Postcards: Funny photo from Jersey, The Channel Islands

Oopsie Daisy!

This photo was taken by our contributor Anna, who snapped this photo in Jersey which is one of the Channel Islands. The islands are in the Channel between the UK and France and they are quite small. Is that why the cars don’t fit in the garages?

Picture Postcards: Funny photos

Today’s photo was posted on the Flickr Group by Anna. It’s in Jersey, the Channel Islands in the U.K. which I guess is a safe place for ducks but perhaps not for swans.
