Rameshwaram temple - an engineering marvel !!!

Have you ever visited Rameshwaram, one of the holy cities of India ? If you go there you will simply be bowled off by the majestic corridors in the temple. It is every photographer's dream to capture this beauty !!! Last year I got an opportunity to visit Rameshwaram.



The main attraction of the huge temple in Rameshwaram is the long corridors with pillars around the temple on four sides, and the longest side measures 690 feet. It is known to be the world's longest corridor. It was built by Muthu Ramalinga Sethupathy in 18th century.

Have you decided to visit Rameshwaram ? Yes, it's a must see at least once in your life !!!
Cheers !! Have a great day !!!

Jumping spider (Salticidae)


Have you ever seen a jumping spider at close quarters? Do you know it has eight eyes arranged around the head ? You can see one here !! Spider is my most favorite insect !!
These jumping spiders are very cute and curious !! When you approach them to shoot many of them just stay back and watch your camera curiously and you will feel like you are playing with a little child. The two big front eyes are the main attraction of this cute guy !!

Hello, everybody !!!

Hi friends,
I am Ezhil Ramalingam, a retired banker and a passionate photographer. I love to travel. Just created this blog to showcase my thoughts and images.Of late I am specializing in macro photography and I want to start my first posting with a drop refraction shot.

Here you see tiny water droplets (around 2mm in dia) formed on grass blades. What you see in the background is a yellow marigold flower. And this is refracted in each of the drops !!!
Hope you like it !!
See you again with new images.
Have a good day !!!
