Shivpuri

This particular post is a long way out of sequence (due to my CD Rom's being a 6 hour train ride away), but since I'm still a long way to catching up with where we're at presently I'm going to post anyways.

As best I can recollect these pictures are from Shivpuri. These are some nightime photo's taken of the cenotaphs built as memorials for dead Hindu royalty.



















It was a bit late by the time I got there, so I kind of accidently jumped a couple of walls and had a wander with a torch to get these shots.



















There were numerous cenotaphs scattered around the shoreline which made for quite a powerful, eery and yes a little scary setting in the dark. A great place to film some sort of thriller or horror film.



















This somewhat more sunny picture is of a ruin, also in Chanderi I think. There were about 3 stories of the structure remaining but in its pomp it was about 7 stories high. Even as a ruin the symetry archways and staircases was very impressive. If you look closely it also came complete with it's very own vertigo immune, laconic "guard dog".
