India, 360 Degrees at a Time, Part Three

Here's the third part of my ongoing series.

Still in Hampi here's another 360 from the Hills in Hampi down to the Achyutaraya Temple:

Matanga Hill

A little further down, before dawn, here's a shot from the rocky path leading up the hill:

Matanga Hill

Our last picture for today is a view down from Hemakuta Hill which is covered with old temples and other structures. In the middle you'll see the large Virupaksha Temple which is still in full use. In that temple you'll find an amazing camera obscura, a physics teacher's dream that projects the temple tower onto a wall (projection, subject, more interesting in reality. Really.)

Hemakuta Hill

That's all for Hampi, tomorrow I'll post more panoramas, from other stops of our trip.

These pictures are simply beautiful - looks like you picked an amazing place to see!

Are you willing to apply a CC:(A|SA|NC) licence to them so that they can be packaged up as loop-able wallpapers for the Nokia N900 (it runs PulseAudio!).  If not, no worries :)

Cheers,

These are beautiful, Lennart. You going to FOSDEM...?

Nick: They are all CC-BY-SA. One my other photo pages it explicitly says that, on these ones this applies too though I never put the text there. And I actually already uploaded one of them to n900wallpapers.com a few days ago but somehow it hasn't shown up there yet...

Lefty: Yes, I will!
