Crossover

After having reached the pier, to alight from the boat and set foot on land to go to the Elephanta Caves, we had to crossover through another boat..
Hewn out of solid rock, the Elephanta Caves date back to 600 AD. These rockcut temples were created by carving out rock, and creating the columns, the internal spaces and the images. The entire temple is akin to a huge sculpture, through whose corridors and chambers one can walk. The entire complex was created through a process of rock removal. Some of the rock surfaces are highly finished while some are untreated bare rock.

  4. Love the pictures of boats in the harbor. It doesn't look all that different from Hong Kong.

  5. Cool shot! I always love photos with people in it, except in NYC I have to be careful where and who I photograph. Privacy issues are very important to a lot of people here.
