India - Hampi - Doors

While in Hampi, India I was drawn to the wonderful colors and designs of doorways. Doors and doorways are not an unusual subject for people to photograph, but none the less,  early years of painting and love of design pulled my attention to these particular scenes.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

India - Hampi Power Journey part 3

I wish I'd have taken notes on the names of places we went.  If and when I connect to someone I traveled with, I'll edit the post with more details of names and places.

The views  here were incredible, as you will see, with the sky turning improbable shades of red as the sun set.

Sounds of male voices coming from the temple below chanting an ancient text filled the air. After the sun went down, we went inside and sat with the singers for awhile.

Street (and Bus) Shooting in Southern India


Mid-July I went to further my study of practicing ancient healing channels taught by master Sri Sw. Kaleshwar in Penukonda, India. The ashram is located a few hours ride outside of Bangalore, ( now sometimes spelled as Bengaluru.)
We were given permission to take photographs on the ashram grounds, but not to post on the internet, which I'm respecting.

So, I think of these as memos, mementos and memories of the coming and going, much in the monsoon rain,  the short meanderings in the city, to and from........... a place that will remain a visual secret.





Saw literally 5 rainbows on the journey through the countryside
Yup, seriously.
Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India...love the high tech juxtapositions

Seriously?
Seriously!
