Leh!

I took this photo while we were in Leh, the sleepy lunar capital of Ladakh. 

It reminded me of the Ernest Hemingway flash of brilliance "For Sale, Baby Shoes, Never Worn".

"Maybe..you'll fall in love with me all over again." 

"Hell," I said, "I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?" 

"Yes. I want to ruin you." 

"Good," I said. "That's what I want too."
