Week 11 - Allāhu Akbar

People coming out of a mosque (in Sharjah, UAE) after prayers, on a Friday night.

I could not cover the entire mosque using my 17mm lens in one shot. So 2 photos were taken and merged to make this photo.

Week 6 - ഉണരൂ ഗ്രാമമേ......

This sunrise photo was taken from the top of Skandagiri, a hill, located approximately 70km from Bangalore city, Karnataka. Skandagiri is one of the hill forts in the Nandi Hill ranges. The dilapidated walls of Tipu Sultan's fort can be seen even today.

It is common to trek this hill in the dark, and it's a lot fun on a full moon night. Trekkers usually start the climbing around 2:00 AM and aim to reach the top by around 5:30 AM to catch the sunrise.
