Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. ~ Michael Jordan
And that’s what I tried to do with my camera. 🙂 I think I can share these wall photos in response to this week’s photo challenge – wall.
Painting of Lord Shiva on a wall at Dasaswamedh Ghat, Varanasi.
A wall in Varanasi depicting the story of the ancient epic Ramayana.
Walls where time has left its mark. Ruined walls inside Jaisalmer Fort, Rajasthan.
A wall that is meticulously carved to intricate details. The wall of a Haveli (palace) in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
The wall that exudes grandeur and opulence of the medieval kingdom of Rajputana. The interior walls of Amer Fort Palace, Jaipur.
On the contrary, this wall speaks of tribal life in Bengal, something very simple and down to earth. Wall paintings at Srijani Shilpagram, Shantiniketan.
Santhal tribes in India decorate their cottage walls with colourful paintings.
Now here are the walls that display the creative genius of young artists in Visva Bharati Kala Bhavan, Shantiniketan.
And finally, walls in my city Kolkata where you’ll find everything from sports to politics. 😛 🙂
So, what do you think about walls in Indian cities and villages? Aren’t they interesting?
Stunning shots Moon!
