The fine old castle of Dalhousie standing on the bank of the South Esk. Pictured here in 1984, there are now a few fairly well established trees along the driveway.
Tradition has it that Blind Harry, author 'The Wallace' - a lengthy poem recounting the life of William Wallace - struck his harp in its ancient halls during his minstrel warnings in the fifteenth century. It is likely that he sung here of Wallace and his exploits, as he did in so many of Scotland’s ancient halls.
Robert Burns is said to have made a reference of Blind Harry's poem when he incorporated the following lines from Harry’s Wallace into his own poem of Robert Bruce’s Address to his Army at Bannockburn - Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled:
A false usurper sinks in every foe
And liberty returns with every blow
Burns is said to have described this as a "a couplet worthy of Homer".

Dalhousie is a small Sri Lankan village in the Nuwara Eliya District. This area is part of the so-called Hill Country, which is world famous for its high quality tea. Returning from a hike through the tea plantations on a sunny day, clouds started to form. The partial sunlight coming through resulted in a dramatic view with dominating blue hues.

The Chamera Dam impounds the River Ravi and supports the hydroelectricity project in the region. It is located near the town of Dalhousie, in the Chamba district in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India The reservoir of the dam is the Chamera Lake. Large part of its reservoir lies in Salooni sub-division of Chamba.
After completion of the first phase, the Chamera-I generates 540 MW (3x180 MW) of electricity. The second stage i.e. Chamera-II Dam generates 300 MW (3X100 MW) of electricity. From year 2012, the 3rd stage i.e. Chamera III generates 231 MW (3x77) of electricity.
The unique feature of the region is the fluctuating day and night temperature. The temperature during the day near the dam rises up to 35 degrees Celsius and drops to a minimum of 18 to 20 °C at night.
The water level in the Chamera Lake rises to a maximum of 763 meters while the minimum water level is 747 meters.
The absence of aquatic life in the lake has made it an ideal location for water sports. According to the plan developed by the tourism department, the lake shares the scope of sports activities like rowing, motor boating, paddle boating, sailing, canoeing, angling and kayaking. House boats and shikaras are also available. The government attempts to provide all these facilities to the tourists.

I experimented with some HDR photography. Not entirely sure of the results; whilst each individual exposure was clear the merged result is somewhat blurry and smudged. I'll have to keep on practicing and getting used to the software. But anyway, here it is: Dalhousie Obelisk, Singapore.
