Thursday, June 18, 2009

Badami in the the state of Karnataka, India, is known for its  ancient rock-cut temples. The sandstone ridge, overlooking the town, is set afire every day moments before sundown.  In the image below, the Bhootnath temple is also seen on the banks of the lake.

Great depiction, marvellous colours. A friend of mine in Portugal just sent me the url for your photos and your blog. Some very interesting work here.

The colors are great! The scale is really made apparent by the temple. The tree on the right must be enormous.
