The Mysore Palace in all its finery and grandeur decked up during the recent Dussera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dussera) festival.
I thought of taking a break from posting landscapes from Valparai, hence heres a shot of the Mysore Palace on the way back from the same trip. There is a sea of humanity at the palace during this time when everyone seems to be in a festive mood.
Art is man's nature; nature is God's art.

You Have to Take in the Complete Whole
For a tall tree cannot be without the lichen or tiny unseen bugs
Without the tree roots stretching across the ground and causing me to fall,
The trees wouldn't have the support in the reach to the skies
For it is only in looking down that we begin to appreciate the
grandeur when we look up.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one early afternoon in Hot Springs National Park while walking the Sunset Trail. This was a section of forest displaying the colors of Autumn in the tree leaves all around. This was walking along West Mountain with a view looking to the northeast.
I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.

La grandeur des bâtiments Faux-ssemanniens d'Alençon dans toute leur humidité !
Et au passage, un vélo. Que demande le peuple ?!
El frío y la niebla se metían sin permiso durante estos momentos. Una humedad del 90%. Pero la foto me gustaba. Y después, a la chimenea. Una chimenea de tamaño natural. Algún día la subiré.
Le froid et le brouillard, ils ont obtenu sans permission pendant ce temps. Un taux d'humidité de 90%. Mais la photo, je l'ai aimé. Et puis la cheminée. Une cheminée grandeur nature. Un jour, je vais télécharger une photo.
The cold and the fog, they went without permission during these moments. A humidity of 90%. But the photo, I liked it. And then, to the fireplace. A full size fireplace. Someday I'll upload a photo
Pristine mountains on the other side of Pangong Tso, Ladakh at about 4,350 m (14,270 ft).
The thoughts of being there still hovering inside my head. I think I never came back completely from Ladakh!!
Where did our love go ?
EDIT: Thanks everyone for the comments. This is a panorama of four shots made with the Sigma 35mm DG DN 1.4. The girl figure on the horizon was added for my own poetry book's needs and was shot earlier with my Olympus OMD EM5 and a 45mm 1.8.
This beautiful scenery takes place in Saint-Gilles Croix de Vie, Vendée, and I love the way the footsteps and the water stripes lead the glance in two opposite directions, yet to the same horizon.
Acquedotto di Segovia. A massive construction feat that was done with such precision of a grade of less than 1 deg.
Thanks for the comments, faves and visits

This vivid photograph showcases the expansive beauty of a park against the backdrop of a dramatic sky. The lush, open grass field is a vibrant green stage set before the grandeur of distant mountains that rise with a majestic gradient of blues and greens. A concrete path meanders through the park, inviting visitors to explore the picturesque landscape dotted with mature trees and a flourishing garden. The sky above is a masterpiece in itself, with fluffy white clouds scattered across the deep blue, painting a dynamic and almost ethereal ceiling. The park, with its blend of manicured and natural elements, offers a space where one can engage in leisurely pursuits or simply bask in the glory of nature's artistry. This scene is a celebration of outdoor tranquility, a reminder of the serene moments that can be found within the embrace of our community green spaces.
My first evening in the grand canyon. The light after sunset was amazing on the canyon walls. This was one of only a couple times that there were any clouds in the sky during the 4 days we where there! I definitely want to go back someday, but to the North rim!
... Cathedral peak reflected in Cathedral Lake, Maroon Bells wilderness, Colorado .... the reward after a stiff hike. I could only fit it all in vertically on my iphone, I think I got a wider angle shot on my dSLR, but barely so ... the wind picked up and the reflections were gone in a matter of moments. I came back again for a longer hike a couple of days later, the ice on the water was completely gone, the breeze obliterated any reflections. yes, beauty is often so very transient ...
this one is just a snap shot out the front door of my home, no time to get the best composition or look for suitable foreground, it was a great sight to see !
A l'arrière, la partie la plus ancienne du château. On peut voir la tourelle avec l'oeil de boeuf qui accueillait l'escalier à vis.
Quelque part en France. Un spot peu connu des urbexeurs. Datant du milieu XVIIe siècle, agrandi et remanié au fil des siècles, habité successivement par des familles nobles (dont les Bourbon-Parme jusqu'en 1989), il fut aussi hôtel, maison de retraite, et occupé en 39-45. Acquis par différents promoteurs immobiliers qui n'en feront rien, le château se meurt dans une lente agonie. Ouvert aux quatre vents, pillé, dépecé, tagué, dangereux (effondrement des plafonds), il finira tôt ou tard par être rasé.
L'Urbex n'est pas un simple loisir ou une mode, c'est un engagement avec des règles : ne pas forcer la ou les entrées, ne pas s'aventurer seul, respecter les lieux (ni pillage, ni tags), ne jamais diffuser le lieu (protection contre les gens mal intentionnés), s'intéresser un minimum à son histoire (si c'est pour faire le buzz sur les réseaux, ça n'a aucun intérêt).
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
This structure, along with the one in an earlier upload (www.flickr.com/photos/80014607@N05/52271006828/in/datepos...), were part of a Mormon settlement that began in 1908 and is now known as "Mormon Row." Needless to say, as interesting and noteworthy as these buildings are, they are merely a footnote compared to the grandeur of the mountains themselves--surely among the most beautiful in the world.
Auditorium in the long-vacant Shriners temple in Wilkes-Barre, PA. This was a longtime urban explorer destination and more recently a target of vandals and scrappers. I toured it legally in the spring of 2019 as restoration was preparing to start under new ownership.
The architecture of this building is certainly impressive. It's one of the largest enclosed spaces in the world. It looks grand - but it's only the home to government offices and a fast food indoor mall. :) James R. Thompson Center, Chicago, Illinois.

The Littlewood's Pools building has stood since 1938, has lain derelict since 2003 and suffered major fire damage in 2018. It is scheduled to become a major film studio after development.
The wet, misty hike to Falls Creek Falls was a little longer then thought. But the view was worth it to this lesser photographed falls on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge.

Yesteryear grandeur or another boring old building shot - take your pick. The main street of Queenscliff in Victoria, Australia on a quiet Autumn morning after a spot of rain. In 1850, Queenscliff on the coast of Port Phillip Bay was a pastoral run. It became a shipping port by 1860, fishermen moved in and the goldrush brought an influx of migrants seeking their fortune. Later the railway accelerated further growth to the area and a paddle steamer moved holiday makers and high society from Melbourne. Today, the commercial centre of Queenscliff is characterised by historic shop fronts, guest houses, grand old hotels and a few more recent buildings.

The Riverside Drive Viaduct, built in 1900 by the US City of New York, was constructed to connect an important system of drives in Upper Manhattan by creating a high-level boulevard extension of Riverside Drive over the barrier of Manhattanville Valley to the former Boulevard Lafayette in Washington Heights.
F. Stuart Williamson was the chief engineer for the municipal project, which constituted a feat of engineering technology. Despite the viaduct's important utilitarian role as a highway, the structure was also a strong symbol of civic pride, inspired by America’s late 19th-century City Beautiful movement. The viaduct’s original roadway, wide pedestrian walks and overall design were sumptuously ornamented, creating a prime example of public works that married form and function. An issue of the Scientific American magazine in 1900 remarked that the Riverside Drive Viaduct's completion afforded New Yorkers “a continuous drive of ten miles along the picturesque banks of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers.”[1]
The elevated steel highway of the viaduct extends above Twelfth Avenue from 127th Street (now Tiemann Place) to 135th Street and is shouldered by masonry approaches. The viaduct proper was made of open hearth medium steel, comprising twenty-six spans, or bays, whose hypnotic repetition is much appreciated from underneath at street level. The south and north approaches are of rock-faced Mohawk Valley, N.Y., limestone with Maine granite trimmings, the face work being of coursed ashlar. The girders over Manhattan Explore - #40
Street (now 125th Street) were the largest ever built at the time. The broad plaza effect of the south approach was designed to impart deliberate grandeur to the natural terminus of much of Riverside Drive’s traffic as well as to give full advantage to the vista overlooking the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades to the west.
The viaduct underwent a two-year long reconstruction in 1961 and another in 1987. (source: Wikipedia)
