India, 360 Degrees at a Time, Part Three
Here’s the third part of my ongoing (http://0pointer.de/blog/photos/india-360-at-a-time-1.html) series (http://0pointer.de/blog/photos/india-360-at-a-time-2.html).
Still in Hampi here’s another 360 from the Hills in Hampi down to the Achyutaraya Temple:
A little further down, before dawn, here’s a shot from the rocky path leading up the hill:
Our last picture for today is a view down from Hemakuta Hill which is covered with old temples and other structures. In the middle you’ll see the large Virupaksha Temple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virupaksha_Temple) which is still in full use. In that temple you’ll find an amazing camera obscura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura), a physics teacher’s dream that projects the temple tower onto a wall (projection (http://0pointer.de/photos/?gallery=India%20Karnataka%202009-11&photo=871), subject (http://0pointer.de/photos/?gallery=India%20Karnataka%202009-11&photo=865), more interesting in reality. Really.)
That’s all for Hampi, tomorrow I’ll post more panoramas, from other stops of our trip.
