An old Banyan Tree on the road to Dehu from Pune

The road from Pune to Dehu (the home town of Sant Tukaram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tukaram) is lined with magnificient, old Banyan (Ficus benghalensis) trees with huge aerial roots spreading over a large area. I can imagine the weary traveller in the days before the motorcar resting himself and his bullocks or his horse under their cool shade.

These docile donkeys snack on the manicured grass on the road divider unmidful of the distractions of a busy road in suburban Mumbai! Maybe they are the more diligent employees of the Municipal Corporation helping to keep the city clean and green! Sounds like an outrageous idea? Don't dismiss it till you have a look at this http://www.goatsrus.com/what_we_do.htm !!
