Hampi Ruins, a Photo Story
-
One of our favorite places in India was the ancient city of Hampi. We had told you about this place way back in December at Hampi Celebrates 500 years, but as Dave was going through his photos the other day, we decided that words just couldn’t do justice to this spectacular site. A photo story lets you see just how spectacular it is.
The city of Hampi is surrounded by incredible ruins and breath taking scenery. What makes Hampi unique is that while it is a world heritage site and the ruins are impressive, the people of the land live, breathe and work among its walls. It feels as though you have stepped back in time and are actually living as people lived hundreds of years ago. The Bazaar is bustling, the square is filled with energy and people worship at the temple. Hampi is a must for anyone visiting India.

Near Hampi Bazaar is Krishna Temple. Unfortunately i have no photos from this place, because i left my camera to the hotel (grr!). But it was one of the beautiest places in India.

Gorgeous photos and it looks like you guys had stunning weather! The blue sky just really sets off all of these shots

I agree with Shannon – stunning photos! I know that professional photographers debate the benefits of film vs. digital, but the bottom line is that with digital cameras you feel free to take so many more photos than you might with film, and wind up with enough to tell a story.

Very true Trisha. When we traveled in the past, we were pretty choosy with what photos to took because we didn’t have an unlimited budget like the professional photographers. Now Dave can take the photos just like the guys at National Geographic:-) Having the computers helps as well because he can organize his photos as he goes rather than sifting through thousands of shots when we return home.

I really like the boulders in the environment with temple structures built around them. Awesome photos!
