TAR 18 INTRO caps!!
theschnauzers:
May I suggest China, or Japan? I think there are mountains in the background and the concentration of multi-storied buildings with similar architecture and equal heights, make me think China may be more likely
georgiapeach:
Great idea!
Prophet:
Phil mentioned a spiritual ritual in Japan as a task. Any correlation with this?

I would think this screencap came from the Kolkata leg. It appears to me to be taken on one of the distributaries in the Ganges/Bhramaputra delta. Although Varanasi is also on the Ganges, from looking at pics of the Ganges at Varanasi....there appears to be higher topography near the river. The topography in this screencap is just so flat, it appears to be much closer to the Indian Ocean than Varanasi. Plus all those seagulls in the pic, mean ocean is close to me. I wouldnt think there would be seagulls at Varanasi. Since Peach has been there, maybe she can fill us in on that aspect.

I remember birds.... vultures in particular. :ascared
I have a complete HD set of the caps but can't do them right now. Will do my best to get them up later.
re the incense...we know the spiritual ritual involves freezing water.
