Super Viking!

Sunday morning I woke up with a bit of time to spare before our departure for the Mount Lavinia trip. So I popped my camera in my pocket, and headed out for a short tour of the neighborhood to give you all a flavor of the streets I know walk every day.

I begin with one of my favorite visuals here: the buses. I count at least four different cultural referents here: Lanka (Sri Lanka) Ashok (a deity, I believe, of Indian origin) Leyland (presumably from British colonial days) – and last but certainly not least for us Scandinavian-Americans: it’s the SUPER VIKING! A far cry from NYC transit buses, and rather more interesting, wouldn’t you say?
