Hyderabad Junction Station in Pakistan is covered in old semaphores and infrastructure from the British. Super cool!
The Qutub Shahi Tombs are the tombs and mosques built by the various kings of the Qutub Shahi dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain.
Paan wallah (and young intruder) in a Hyderabad bazar, Telengana State, India. 2007
Paan is a mixture of betel nut, lime paste and spices. It can be sweet (mitha) or saadha (with tobacco). The whole thing is wrapped in the leaf and used as a digestive and mouth freshener, although some people are litterally addicted to it and chew it all the time.
Captured a fragment of time at the Chowmahalla Palace in Hyderabad, where the minar gracefully ascends into the boundless blue embrace of the sky. Each intricately crafted detail echoes the tales of a bygone era, while the open sky above whispers secrets of timeless beauty. A convergence of heritage and heavens, frozen in pixels.

Golconda is a historic fortress and ruined city located in the western outskirts of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
The origins of the Golconda fort can be traced back to the 11th century. It was originally a small mud fort built by Pratāparudra of the Kakatiya Empire.
The fort was later developed into a fortified citadel in 1518 by Sultan Quli of the Qutb Shahi Empire and the city was declared the capital of the Golconda Sultanate.
The Golconda fort used to have a vault where the famous Koh-i-Noor and Hope diamonds were once stored along with other diamonds.
Rarely did I see a Cormorant as well lit as this. It is a very dark bird and feather details are hard to get, normally.
One of the sessions in the Lotus Pond in Hyderabad. So many amazing spots for really nice photo sessions.
