| This is Krishna's Butterball, a natural phenomenon in Mahabalipurum (sp?) an ancient settlement-turned-tourist trap (ain't it always the way?). I've got half a mind to think that the local folks all chipped in to buy Krishna's Butterball from the nearest boulder salesman to draw in foreigners to buy postcards and elephant sculptures. What you see in this photograph is a big rock that looks like it ought to fall down and flatten the goat underneath it, what you don't see is the (literally, I counted) 12 very aggressive tourist crap salesman. It's was cool to see Krishna's Butterball, but a real drag to be reminded every time our tour guide so much as paused a comma that we were only wanted for our 45 rupees to a dollar. |
