Some monuments are well preserved, and others are a blot on our conscience, and the 'activities' of the ASI.

Not that this is the objective, and not that the objective of our participation in WLM is to create a tourist paradise, but I do hope that some of the photographic documentation achieved in this year's photothon will help create some public outcry against the widespread decay and neglect.

We have, in general, far too many laws and far too little public concern about the manner of their implementation.
