During our day trip to Mahabalipuram last winter, we reached ‘Krishna’s butter ball’ around that magical time when everything touched by sunlight gets a shower of gold dust—including these huge boulders that stood silently admiring the profile of the more popular attractions nearby.
To get an idea of it’s scale, there’s a little child who managed to sneak into the view, and of course, those trees look quite dwarfed!

The light is so beautiful…

Yes, the setting sun cast a beautiful colour on the rocks. The picture doesn’t do justice to the actual glow…

I love Mammalapuram, especially the Shore Temple. I even got to love the constant tap-tap-tap of the stone carvers.
I haven’t been there since the early 90s and heard it was hit hard by the 2004 tsunami. I wonder how much has changed.

Yes. The place is amazing 🙂 I don’t know how much it has changed… I was quite small when I went before. But the tsunami uncovered a lost submerged city…

Thanks! Yup, I am in love with the HDR. My phone’s slowing down, but I don’t want to replace it just because of the camera 🙂

Ha ha! G3 has the best HDR pictures in any Moto series, till date! Not even G5 clicks such wonderful HDR pictures. Slowing down? Buy a new phone but retain this one for photography. Will still work well.
