  • Beyond the Aravalli Hills* by theurbannexus

    Through a beautiful sculpted Hindu archway, I gaze over the Aravalli Hills that litter the Rajasthani landscape. The hills stretch approximately 560 km from northeast to southwest Rajasthan, and then continue as isolated hills and ridges into the state of Haryana (formerly part of the state of Punjab) and near Delhi. The highest point is on Mt Abu, and is known as Guru Shikar. It rises 5653 feet (1.72 km). The hill range is further divided into the Sambhar-Sirohi and the Sambhar-Khetri ranges. The peaks of the Aravalli Hills are famous for their white peaks, formed not by snow, but by large masses of rose coloured quartz. / __ Dedicated to Marnie Kaur Sidhu, a friend who helped me through picking a new domain/flickr name (and helped me name a business in the past) :) / : at Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

  • Close to heaven by James Godber

    This view, of the mountain and prayer flags, taken at Ganden monastery in Tibet was magical. The air was thin and the walking tough, but it was worth it.

  • The Tea Picker's Hat by James Godber

    This hat sat alone amongst the tea bushes in Guangxi Province, S China. I loved the symmetry and straight lines between the tea bushes.

  • Prayer Flags by Robert Cadloff

    High atop a hill in Nepal, these prayer flags await the wind, which will blow the prayers aloft and carry them throughout the world. Shot on Fujichrome 100 film

  • Shwezigon monks. by DaveBassett

    These monks paused in the light to pose for a tourist on the other side of the pillars. A lucky shot and one of my favourite. (Bagan – Myanmar).

  • Trash? by Elaine Li

    I sent this photo to Think Great Awards 2008, and was 1st Runner up in the senior section of Best Photo Awards. :) / (http://www.englishbuilder.hk/site/ThinkGreat/winners.html) “In the society we live in, many underprivileged people are forgotten or ignored by us (the pedestrians). They are marginalized and, symbolically in a way, dumped to the fringes of society like trash. Fringe dwellers are so elusive in our society that we almost see them as invisible, much like how the old lady’s attires are camouflaged by the garbage bags. The garbage bags somehow seem to be her “Invisibility cloak”. People’s ignorance to the underprivileged is a prevalent social issue. This old woman, most likely to be in her late 60’s, is surrounded by not only rubbish bags, but also uninterested pedestrians. The reasons for her actions are yet to be revealed, but on this cold winter’s day (note that this was shot in December), she would most likely have been searching for clothes or food. As they say, one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure. The contents of the rubbish bags may not be needed by others, but to her, they are vital things for survival.”

  • 2 Boats, Nepal by Emma Clark-Kennedy

    Pokhara lake, 6am on a cold December morning. Boats both old and new decorate the shoreline creating a colourful display.

  • Sadhu, Nepal by Emma Clark-Kennedy

    Durbar Square, Kathmandu. A Sadhu takes a couple of moments to feed the pigeons. The red of the building and of the Sadhu’s clothing contrasted with the grey of the pigeons beautifully. I loved the serenity of this moment.

  • Kick it to me by Louise Cooke

    Kata Beach, Phuket. This shot encapsulates my overall impression of thai people – fun loving, friendly people who get pleasure from simple things. It was such a treat to watch them at play.

  • Ek Soni Chhatri - One Beautiful Umbrella by theurbannexus

    A beautiful chhatri structure at the Jaigarh fort, situated at the end of a pretty, colourful and lush courtyard. Although this fort was a strictly military structure when designed, it would not have been possible for the creators to not incorporate some aesthetically pleasing components into the overall complex. This is especially appreciated when one looks out of the chhatri (a feature of Rajput Hindu architecture) and witnesses the view over Amber Fort, Amber, and Jaipur. We were lucky to have a relatively bright and clear sky early this morning.

  • Call of VAARI by Prasad

    A new perspective of Indian culture. Our Hindu culture believes that like humans Gods also have days and nights. Their day time scales equivalent to the six months and so the night, and usually measured with reference to Solstice. When the Sun starts moving towards the southern sky we believe it’s night time has begin for the Gods. On the eleventh day of the moon in Aashadh ( Usually falls between 25th June to 15th July ) month of Hindu calender, Lord Vishnu goes to sleep :) The real story begins from here. Every year millions of devotees go on walking a distance of 200 – 400 Km. from their cities, town places or villages to PANDHARPUR, city of Lord Krishna. Their journey begins from the city of Saints like Saint Dyaneshwar of Alandi which is just close to my town place. For the years, they are travelling the way of joy, to offer their love, devotion to Lord Vitthal ( another name of Lord Krishna ) without any invitation or call. Peoples acorss the world form Germany, UK and many, are also coming especially on this ocassion now a days. If you want to see true India, you’ll find here. Now a days it’s time and they are on the way ahead. I hope to present a few glimpses of this rich heritage of India. It’s a call for you all to join the way of Joy!!

  • Respect & Love :: Golden Temple, Amritsar by theurbannexus

    Crowds pour in and out of the inner part of the Golden Temple, or Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, Punjab. Dedicated to Raminder Pal Singh, whose inspiring work of the Golden Temple (along with Captain Suresh Sharma’s work) inspired me to see one of the lands my ancestors came from – The Punjab. Linkage: / Captain Suresh: / Raminder pal Singh More Information… / The Harmandar Sahib (originally called the Hari Mandir, or ‘temple of God’) is also known as the Golden Temple. It is the holiest of Sikh Gurudwaras (or places of worship) and many thousands of Sikh and non Sikh devotees and tourists visit every year to witness this fantastic sight and spiritual haven. Located in the older part of Amritsar city, this temple was originally the site of a small lake in a forest. In 1574, the Mughal Emporor, Akbar visited the third Sikh Guru, Guru Amar Das in a nearby village. He was so impressed by what he saw there, that he gifted a sum of money to the Guru’s daughter (who later married a man who became the fourth Guru, Guru Ram Das). This money was used to enlarge the lake and build a small township. Under the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, that the temple was built. A great Sufi (Muslim mystic, popular in this time in South Asia) friend of the guru from Lahore (former capital of undivided Punjab, now the capital of Pakistan’s Punjab state) visited and laid the foundation stone in 1588. It was completed in 1601. Later it would be attacked by the Afghans, requiring rebuilding in the 1760s. The temple has four enterances, which signifies the importance of acceptance and openness. All may enter the Harimandir Sahib, regardless of who they are – though they must abstain from meat, drinking alcohol, entering intoxicated, smoking or use drugs while inside (as with all Sikh temples). The temple was also the site of Operation Blue Star, in 1984, which resulted in a very sorrowful time in the history of the people of Punjab and Delhi, regardless of race or religion, though it was the Sikhs who suffered more. It was at this time that Sikhs in Delhi were at high risk. My maternal Grandfather took a neighbouring Sikh family into his house to help ensure their safety, and they remain friends since.

  • Forgotten Postcard - Vietnam by Alison Cornford-Matheson

    This is something a bit different for me. It is actually a collaboration. My best friend (not a Redbubbler yet, but I’m working on it) just returned from a month long holiday in Asia, where she took some stunning images. Being the trusting soul she is, she turned some of her favorites over to me for some Photoshop magic. When I started to work, I noticed how timeless the scenes were and I felt that I could be looking at a vintage postcard. That was the inspiration for this piece.

  • French Reflections by Matthew Stewart

    Taken in Hoi An, Viet Nam. French Colonial architecture is everywhere in Vietnam and it’s so much fun to photograph.
