Pyramids Are a Dramatic Backdrop for a Mirrored Orb Inspired by Ancient Egypt
The Giza pyramids are the dramatic backdrop for a new installation by anonymous Spanish artist SpY. Inspired by Egyptian symbolism and mathematics, the piece is part of the exhibition Forever is Now II. Organized by Culturvator/Art D’Égypte, the exhibition asks artists around the world to take inspiration from Egypt's rich cultural history. In SpY's case, he looked at the logical and spiritual world of Ancient Egypt to put together his piece, ORB.
The architecture of these chhatris is a blend of Paliwal, Mughal, and Rajput styles of architecture. Each cenotaph contains inscribed tablets with names of the King and Queen.
Some of the cenotaphs have a statue of the King on a horse along with his queen standing nearby. The size of the chhatri varies according to the status of the person.
Splashing colors at the Stone Chariot. This is actually a shrine dedicated to Garuda in the Vijaya Vittala Temple. No wonder why Hampi is called the city of stones and boulders. A marvel of architecture! . . . . . . . #chhoriionroad #womenwithstreetstyle #streetstyle #womentravel #passionpassport #exploremore #mypixeldiary #oyemyclick #culturvation #indiapictures #NGTIndia #nammakarnatakaphotographers #nammahampi #hampiclicks #canonofficial #beautifulhampi #karnatakapravasi (at Stone Chariot, Hampi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdotzTFD-4/?igshid=1rqdnqzwybfnh

To Love a Palestinian Woman When you love a Palestinian woman, the essence of resistance seeps into your existence; you comprehend the meaning of persistence. In her eyes you may see residues of a tear, but never a sign of fear. When you love a Palestinian woman, your heart is tuned to the beat of a heart that can never forget. You travel far; you walk the narrow streets of Jerusalem, in the footsteps of Jesus, carrying his cross, cleaning his wounds, wiping his sweat. When you love a Palestinian woman you love every wave that kisses the shores of her land, every olive tree in Galilee, every particle of salt in the Dead Sea. When you love a Palestinian woman, you love a smile mysteriously mixed with pain unknown to others; and a laugh that was choked when the land was separated from its faithful lovers. When you love a Palestinian woman you love a spirit that inherited the will to stand, and eyes that terrify guards at check-points, in a way no man can. How can any man love but a Palestinian woman?

TAXI NO. 3936! This picture was taken in Hong Kong. I was out with my family and my camera was in my hand. My family members were all ahead of me and I was walking behind them looking at the shops, streets and everything around me when I saw this taxi coming my way. I wanted to capture a picture of a local taxi since I had arrived here and this moment was perfect. The taxi had stopped at the red light and luckily when it started moving it turned left. This was the best moment for me to get a picture of a local taxi with a spectacular frame and I took it. Time was short but I captured this shot and I felt relieved. This frame was impeccable with the perfect road, people, building and the lighting! . . . . . #yourshot_india #_indiasb#likeforlikes #india_clicks#india_india_picture#culturvation #indianphotographyclub#followforfollow #_woi#indianphotographersclub#delhihai #mypixeldiary #igshotz #createtoexplore #indiapictures #pixelpanda_india #aperturearea #indianshutterbugs #delhigram #f4fofficial #click_delhi #ig_delhi #officialphotographyhub #india_lens #thedelhites #photooftheday #_coi #i_c #igersofindia
The Nongsawlia Presbyterian Church is the first established Christian church in Meghalaya, long back in the year 1846. The first church building was built upon a hillock of the present Cemetery by The Presbyterian Church of Wales who had sent Rev. Thomas Jones-I and his young wife Anne. Upon landing, the Rev. devoted his time listening attentively the pronunciation of the Khasi words and learnt the language. One British official had advised Jones as "go back home Jones; you may as well try to instruct the monkeys on that tree than to attempt to teach these people" It is said that only in 7/8 months he could converse with people and preached the Gospel. He also them Roman alphabets, translated a Welsh book into khasi and uplifted their way of life. His wife Anne is buried in this cemetary. #NongsawliaPresbyterianChurch #meghalayadiaries #meghalaya #meghalayatourism #soguwahati #cherrapunjee_diaries #meghalaya #sohra #MyPixelDiary #theheritagephotographyclub #budpoi #lostgraves #WahhIndia #zonestreet #storiesofindia #culturvation #ForbesTravelGuide #cherrapunjee #police #architecturephotography #snapseed storiesofindia #history #picoftheday #picoftheday #lightroom #cloudporn (at Nongsawlia Presbyterian Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJaKcOjBkem/?igshid=1iv80i39m5rar

Nature's knock.. or chirp rather Slowly nature seems to be taking over. From greener flora, bluer sky, cleaner air and chirpier birds.. it's slowly coming nearer too. These #JungleBlabbers are usually a shy lot and always fly around in flocks. Was a pleasant surprise to see one (and then another and then few more) land up chirping loudly in the balcony. A click from the meshed door so maybe not that clear but nevertheless - enjoy EXIF: 1/1600s, 260mm, f/6.3, ISO 250 #NatureReclaims #NeighborhoodBirds #JungleBlabber #QuarantinePlans #QuarantineRealisations #StayHome #Curfew #QuarantinePlans #quarantine #Nikon #sigma #birds #bird @birdphotographers_of_india @himalayangeograhic #d750 @amzindia @indiaculturalhub @indiabestpic @india.clicks @indiapictures @natgeo @natgeoit #culturvation #india #birdphotography #highspeedphotography #motionphotography #woah #angry #angrybird #anger #photographers_of_india @photographers_of_india @natgeoyourshot @birdphotographyworld @birdphotography (at AWHO, Greater Noida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eKUN7FfGk/?igshid=1th0rtofw8p2p

Lush green shot of Nako lake from the cold deserts of India! Nako lake is a high altitude lake surrounded by willow trees, located in Nako village of Kinnaur valley with the view to the srikhand range of himalayas. Spiti and Kinnaur valley is as it is quite tranquil and less populated, but for our surprise we did not see one human being in this village. There were some pets in the houses, but no humans! That's the kind of place i wanna live in, after I retire 😅 #goals . . . . . #latepost #spiti #kinnaur #kinnaurvalley #spitivalley #nako #nakovillage #himalayas #himalayanvillage #india #ig_bengaluru #backpacker #heritage #culturvation #letsguide #withPepsi #indian_igrammers #wravelerforlife #travelholic #travelguide #travelbook #green #earthly #earthfever #explore #blue #colddesert #mountains #yellowtree @spitiholiday @spitiecosphere @spitivalleytours @himalayas.in @himalayangeographic @himalayanhigh.in @himalayasarecalling @himachalpictures @himachalgram @himachal.wonderland @himalayangirls @himalayanwonders @indian.photo @oneplus_india @lonelyplanetindia @googleindia @streets.of.india @natgeoindia @indiaview @india @incredibleindia @stories.of.india @indiaculturalhub @indiaculturelab @pictures.of.india @india.clicks @canonindia_official @indiapictures @indiapoco (at Nako village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BKwYihZCq/?igshid=uqdzxsi1lh5i
