Leaf: This is a typical lane way in my city. As you can see, it's total 'Man-ville' (which can be challenging at times). One thing I love about this photo is that every single shop sign is in Hindi, not English. (Varanasi, India) 

Rae: A morning scene at the protests in Bangkok. Thailand protests are so peaceful. Sometimes the media wants to focus on one or two moments of violence, but it's hard to imagine another country that could have months of protest with so few incidents. Plus, half the protestors are our parents' age. (Bangkok, Thailand)
