Temples Tell Tales Too...

Posted by Shutterbug (Chennai, India) on 15 August 2007 in Architecture.

The sun sets in silhouette the pillars of a shore temple in land's end, India.
Do pardon the alliteration, I quite got carried away! :)

Nothing wrong with alliteration Shutterbug! A wonderful shot - the pillars are almost like beings in their individuality much more intereting tham matching ones would be! And the sea behind them the shadows and figure are intriguing. And my ancestors came from Land's End (only in Cornwall!!)

Nice photo! I like the silouettes in front of the sea, the "human" presence gives a lot too!

@ Bron, yeah, alliteration's fine - sometimes! :) the pillars are not identical because of their position in relation to the sea- the salt in the sea erodes them...you must see it to believe it! Ah, now, this aint in Cornwall! ;)

@ Kairospix, thanks!

@ ColNed, yeah, in retrospect, I think I should've started a silhouette series! :)

@ tyan, You are most welcome!

@ Soph, yeah, I'd have prefered an architechture picture, but the man was there and hey, that's what photography is about, isnt it!?

@ Nick, thanks mate!

@ Brian, I was wondering if there was harmony, initially. And then I decided to let be!

@ Evi, thanks so much!

@ Dawn, :)
