Taken in October of 2013 in Old Delhi.
This photo was taken at the Red Fort in Old Delhi. It’s the arched ceiling of an alcove, and the angular pattern in which it’s been carved astounds me.

DAILY PHOTO: Jama Masjid in Bangalore
Taken on February 26, 2014 in Bangalore
This is the Jama Masjid in Bangalore (not to be confused with the massive Jama Masjid near the Red Fort in Old Delhi.) It’s indicative of Bangalore’s rapid growth that the mosque sits right up against the highway flyover that frames it herein. It’d be a nicer looking picture from on top of the flyover, but a.) that would be terrifying and b.) it wouldn’t give the impression of how hemmed in it is.
The mosque is located right next to the K.R. (City) Market, and is considered the most impressive of Bangalore’s mosques by many. This area is a crazy hive of market activity at all times of day.

DAILY PHOTO: Swami Vivekananda
Taken February 25, 2014 in Bangalore
This little park devoted to Swami Vivekananda is located on Bull Temple Road in Bangalore. Swami Vivekananda was a 19th century yogi and Hindu holy man. He was the chief disciple of Swami Ramakrishna, and is often credited with introducing yoga to the West. This statue is located across the street from the Ramakrishna Math near Gandhi Bazaar (there is another Ramakrishna Math closer to Ulsoor Lake.)
The park has a series of quotes from the Swami in English and Kannada. The one above says, “Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.”

I took this photo today in Bangalore (south of city market and east of Tipu Palace.) It’s a scrap rubber place mostly made of… well, scrap rubber.

DAILY PHOTO: Lakeside in Ayutthaya
Taken in October of 2012 in Ayutthaya.
Ripples on the pond and vines strangling the tree. I don’t know why–or precisely where in Ayutthaya–I took this picture, but I’m going to go unconventional and make it today’s Daily Photo.
