This is not a "desktop" shot. Still, given that I am taking you through my day at Hampi, I thought it will be good to give you a flavor of the carvings at this world heritage site. These pillar sets also produce sounds that belong to various instruments.

Humanity is inspiring, when you think those pillars were at one time solid columns of stone and some artist carved away all the stone to create the carving, it's simply amazing and humbling. Thanks for sharing the shots PJ.

Legitimate leadership flows from love. Anything less is violence incognito.
The stone work is really outstanding.
Thanks for sharing JP.

Beautiful Shot of the store carvings at Hampi dear friend...
Hampi, as it is popularly known today was the medieval capital of the Hindu empire Vijayanagara (the City of Victory). Hampi in the Karnataka state of India is listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Hampi is charismatic even in its ruined state. It attracts thousands of tourists and pilgrims every year. Vast stretches of boulder-strewn hills make the backdrop of Hampi unique.
Hampi in brief : A quick over view of Hampi.
Dotted around the hills and valleys are 500 plus monuments. Among them are beautiful temples, basement of palaces, remains of aquatic structures, ancient market streets, royal pavilions, bastions, royal platforms, treasury buildings.., the list is practically endless. Hampi is a backpackers paradise, the same way the pilgrims delight.
In Hampi at every turn there is a surprise. Every monument hides more than what they reveal. As an open museum, Hampi has numerous popular (100 plus!) locations visitors throng.

Great composition on this making it a vertical shot. Lots of nice detail on the stonework carvings. Nice lighting. Very nicely done.
