You've captured the spirit of this scene very well. The rock has a half opened eye and seems alive.

Thanks John and Sylvia

Samson Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Thanks Stine, not much information is available on this particular structure... Before the Mysore Kings took over this place it is said that Vijaynagar Kings had their hold her so probably it was built during that time

Samson Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Thanks Marica, Photo Cache, Johhny, Indrani and Catherine, I'm gald you liked the photo :)

Jack and Joann Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Oh, I guess IN doesn't stand for Indiana. Where are you? Cool shots.

Samson Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Hi Jack and Joann, IND Stands for India, I'm from Bangalore, India.

Marvin Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Your B&W photo does a great job of capturing the timeless quality of the scene. Is that a bell on a pole jutting off the rock?

Japa Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Generations to come will have an opportunity to appreciate and enjoy this preserved structure of the past. This is an interesting post. Yes, the B&W justified the essence you want us to see and experience.

John Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Love the way it seems to distort scale.

Samson Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Thanks Marvin, yes its the bell hanging on a pole from the edge of the rock

Samson Tuesday, December 15, 2009  

Thank you Japa and John

Imposing and impressive. Great b&w.

Arija Wednesday, December 16, 2009  

So beautifully sitedd and the weathered temple integrates so sell with the granite bouldes.
A great angle for your shot too.

Gerald (Hyde DP) Friday, December 18, 2009  

magnificent setting - I too was intrigued by the bell hanging over the rock.
