Remember when I posted my chosen Featured Images from my Featured Bloggers? The pictures you showed on that event were high in my consideration. It was even more impressed to know that it’s from a fancy camera. Your travels and images are worth revisiting and reposted again and again.
I am so glad you “recycled” these photos, as I had missed them the first way around. The sound clip added such a richness and depth to those photos, truly you took us along with you.
Madhu, what a fantastic choice for challenge. I really enjoyed your post, The Light Of Faith . Stunning photos and the music cloud adds the intensity to the post.
I am very glad you posted these photo’s again Madhu. I think they’re stunning and it’s just like sort of a ‘re-cap’ when you post them again, for those of us that haven’t seen them before. 😀
Great choice for the challenge. I love it! 😀
That’s why people become so emotionally connected to the place! Pure drama. And so magnificently recounted, Madhu. The shots are wondrous – that new camera of yours has given you wings! 🙂
Thank you Meredith. I ruined hundreds, before I could salvage a handful of decent shots! It is a huge learning curve, and I am still not completely familiar with all its functions.
The Urge To Wander 
As always, your photography is powerful and stirs the emotions. 🙂 It’s been a while…
It has. Thank you for stopping by to tell me Eliz. Always a pleasure to see you here 🙂
This is so beautiful Madhu!
Sorry for the unfollow/follow, it was just a wrong button-press….
Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you. And not to worry, I do that all the time 🙂
excellent 🙂
Thanks Joshi.

Thank you Kat. I am glad you enjoyed that post. I worry about boring people with repeat posts, but I see there is merit in the occasional ‘recycle’ 🙂

I can believe it, but you are achieving great results, even if they’re perhaps not the majority just yet! 🙂
Lovely entry Madhu!
Than you Nicole.
Absolutely perfect Madhu
Happy you think so Gilly. All other photo series that would have worked for this theme seemed tame in comparision 🙂
I think that first shot is the most dramatic. Love it!
Thank you very much Emilio. I got lucky with that one.
This a splendid choice, Madhu. Each shot has its own drama, and then the whole…
Thank you Tish. The Ganga Aarti was pure drama! 🙂
