Who Can Really Say?

Another cool and gloomy morning here in Hyderabad. We're still under the weather influence of a storm near the southeast coast of India and the heavy cloud cover prevents much warming I suppose. Yesterday the local paper, the Deccan Chronicle described the weather as a "cold snap" because temps would only reach to the low to mid-70's!

I'm still fighting jet lag -- only slept 6 hours last night -- my body just doesn't want to sleep at the wrong time yet, despite my being tired.

Back during my first trip in 2006 I posted some photos taken from the 4th floor balcony at the office. Things have changed so much since then as construction of new offices continues apace. Compare those views to these, which show approximately the same angles. The change is quite striking.

And to the right.

And finally, another shot looking out dead center, taken as we were about to leave the office last night at 6:00 PM.

I don't have the same opportunity to take photos on this trip unfortunately -- the hotel grounds are much smaller and not as photogenic, and the ride to the office is brief. I figure to get some more this weekend though, and I still have a few I can take around here.
