The photo above and the photo below were taken at almost the same time (around dusk), but with some adjustments to the manual settings. (You can see the time continuity in the clouds above the hotel in the right half of the photo.) What a difference a few clicks make.IMG_2911

That’s 1,000 Posts, and I’m Out of Here

This is my 1,000th post on this site, and I’ve finished it just in time to get on a plane and leave the country, rounding out my blogging year with a nice round number. It’s been fun, and I’ll be back in early January to crank it back up.

Here’s a photo of where I’ll be.

The Mysore Palace is usually only lit up on Sunday evenings. However, during the 10-day festival of Dasara (Vijayadashami), they light it up every night. This was taken on the penultimate day of festivities.

20140417_152720Saw a dog doing its business in the fountain of a swanky office building the other day. If that doesn’t capture the spirit of Bangalore, I’m not sure what does.

DAILY PHOTO: Temple Gate at Chennakeshava

Taken November 23, 2013 at Belur.

This is the gate into the Chennakeshava temple in Belur. In the foreground is the base of a pillar that served to hold the temple lantern that let all find the temple in the darkness. (Fun fact: the pillar isn’t secured to the base. That is, it’s held in place by gravity.) The base is the same multi-sided shape as the temple mounts.

Below is a pic of the lantern pillar (it’s not as askew as it appears in the pic.) (Fun fact #2: if you type askew into Google’s browser it will twist the page askew.)
