ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific shot, Sam, as always! I do love seeing your photos of some of the marvelous, old places and statuary! Living in such a "young" country, it is doubly fascinating to realize people were creating/building such magnificent places/statues/etc. so very long ago. It's why I loved traveling in Greece and Europe, just wish I could have gotten to India as well! Your shots are the next best thing!
