The last climb of this section is now behind me and I can look back along the stretch of coast billed by many as the hardest of the whole of the SWCP.

This is a resubmission which hopefully is an improvement on the previous scan having removed the grain and sharpened a little.

Candidate for photography assignment.
After the first couple of setup shots, I thought for sure this was a photo that wasn't going to happen... but things started to fall in place gradually.
This might be one of the most confined shots I've done yet, at least regarding a human in the shot. From the camera lens to the television set it's only about 5 feet. It was cramped and very, very warm in this room.
I probably shouldn't have left the bottom corners so dark. But to be honest... I just want to go to bed, so I don't really care all that much.
Lighting Info
- SB600 at 24mm zoom and 1/32 power level. Gelled with 1/2 CTB and positioned between the TV and me, pointed at my face.
- SB600 at 85mm zoom and 1/16 power level. Gelled with full CTO and lying on the top of the television set, pointed at the back corner.
- TV... just happened to have a commercial come on which had a flash of light on it. So, I paused it and used at as the "video game", which prevented me from having to actually hook my XBox up.
Paulo Coelho speaks of "personal legend." Jesus teaches on "light" conquering darkness. Maybe, what we are searching for is just "Around The Corner."

Probably one of the hardest hikes I have ever or will ever do.
Next time I will not take the off beaten path.
Actually later that day, a Dutch woman died when she fell off the same path we took.
Sad.
But I AM glad that I did it.
The powerade I had after was the most amazing thing I had ever drank.

It is a very interesting structure with windows fixed on the top of the gate, which is said to have been constructed to see floating clouds through it. But, more interesting is that the gate does not lead to any palace while the name suggests that it led to a Mahal or palace once upon a time.
Recent excavation shows that there was indeed a palace inside the campus and the gate and the palace was orginally built during the 15th century by Malwa Sultan Mehmood Shah Khilji of Khilji dynasty and with time passing the palace was ruined and the Mughal Emperor reconstructed the gate after conquering Chanderi in 1525 and the campus was converted into a garden.
Now one can see partly recovered palace beneath the garden and the fortification of the palace.
