This shot was taken in an Indian Palace. The whole room was intricately carved out of marble and inlay with semi-precious stones and small mirrors. Hope you agree that this shot gives you a taste. Hope you like it.
As usual with your pictures of Indian art, craft, architecture...I come away with a sense of awe for the immense time, patience, concentration, and skill that was invested in this sort of overwhelming display. And then to realize that it is only a small part of the whole.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
