Paigah Tombs, Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Paigah Tombs or Maqhbara Shams al-Umara, are the tombs belonging to the nobility of Paigah family, who were fierce loyalists of the Nizams, served as statespeople, philanthropists and generals under and alongside them. The Paigah tombs are among the major wonders of Hyderabad State which known for their architectural excellence as shown in their laid mosaic tiles and craftsmanship work. The Paigah's necropolis is located in a quiet neighbourhood 4 km southeast of Charminar Hyderabad, at Pisal banda suburb., down a small lane across from Owasi Hospital near Santosh Nagar. These tombs are made out of lime and mortar with beautiful inlaid marble carvings. These tombs are 200 years old which represent the final resting places of several generations of the Paigah Nobles.
At first, Paigah Tombs may look deserted and totally uncared for, but on a closer look you will find the place quite enthralling. With marvelous carvings and motifs in floral designs and inlaid mosaic tile-works, the tombs are exquisite to walk around. The tombs and their walls are delicately carved and enclosed in pierced marble facades, some of them in rows and some with beautifully carved screens and canopies.
Yesterday I had a teeny tiny baby deer in my backyard in town. And he was crying for his mama. I called a wildlife place & was advised to just wait to see if it's mama would find it during the night. I heard him crying during the night, then when I looked out in the morning he was gone. He was so very delicate & tiny. I'm thinking positively that mama & baby are happily back together.
Highlight of our Southwest geology tour, the sunset at Delicate Arch is worth the wait.
The fact that you will be joined by a crowd turns the arch into a kind of natural shrine. A truly centering and uplifting experience.
the natural beauty of the face is not viewed, but percieved from the curves of the mouth, flow of the hair and all that emanates sensuality.
To me, this flower looks like a delicate insect. Or just a delicate flower. I wish i knew what it was called. Heck, its probably some kind of weed.
Tradescantia brevifolia, a low plant with very small, delicate flowers growing at the Wildflower Center in Austin. Found in the wild only in Big Bend and the Davis Mountains of Texas, and a few adjacent locales in Coahuila and Nuevo Leon in Mexico.
Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Southern Utah. This is a different angle then usually seen. It is of the backside of the arch on a very steep incline. This is one of my first HDR attempts.
By far the most famous attraction in Arches National Park is Delicate Arch, its more or less symmetrical shape, and 18m freestanding formation making it a symbol of both the State of Utah and the American Southwest in general. Originally called "the Chaps" and "the Schoolmarm's Bloomers" by local cowboys, it was not officially discovered and given its current name until the 1933 Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition. Ironically it was not even included in park boundaries when Arches National Monument was first established by Pres Herbert Hoover in 1929. It was added when the monument was enlarged in 1938. In 2002 the Olympic Torch Relay passed through the arch.
Everyone (myself included) stops for photos under the arch. Here you can see just how large the arch actually is.

Delicate Arch overlooks the Cache Valley and dwarfs the humans who gather around it.
I've made this hike several times and it is a bit of an uphill slog to get here. But I've passed eighty year-old guys and families. There are always families in Utah.
In the background are the La Sal mountains, about twenty five miles away.
