Lieu : Rajasthan, Inde
Les puits à degrés du Rajasthan, en Inde, sont riches d'une histoire qui remonte à plus de mille ans. Construits à l'origine pour recueillir l'eau de pluie et fournir un accès aux eaux souterraines, ils sont devenus des merveilles architecturales et des espaces communautaires.
Construites en creusant dans la terre, ces structures étaient ornées de sculptures complexes, servant à la fois de symboles utilitaires et esthétiques. Les puits à degrés facilitaient le stockage de l'eau dans les régions arides, crucial pour l'agriculture, la boisson et les rituels. Ils servaient également de points de rencontre, offrant un répit contre la chaleur torride du désert.
Au fil du temps, les puits à degrés ont décliné avec la modernisation, mais leur importance culturelle perdure, inspirant l'art, la littérature et les efforts de conservation.

Stepwells in Rajasthan, India, boasts a rich history dating back over a thousand years. Initially built to harvest rainwater and provide access to groundwater, they evolved into architectural marvels and communal spaces.

A few years ago, I took a similar shot of the Infinity Bridge in Stockton on Tees and said that I wanted to return in better conditions. We visited tonight and were blessed with reflections.
now that my video experiment is done, i can finally get back to posting some shots.
here's one from my recent trip to paris.
Into the spiral we rise, where every step curves toward infinity.
درون مارپیچ اوج میگیریم، جایی که هر پله به سوی بینهایت خم میشود.
Stunning view of the reef and seascape from above the canyon at Abu Galum National park. This protected area covers 400 square kilometers, a landscape highlighted by the meeting of coastal mountains and the azure waters of the Gulf of Aqaba. The coastal region has a unique topography with the mountains near the beaches, and the varied terrains include coral reefs, sea herbs, sea creatures, lagoons, mountains, and a desert environmental system, meaning almost everything in one place.
I read recently about Bob Dylan quoting Woody Guthrie about all the great songs being already out there in the ether just waiting to be given form and it's made me think about visual art in the same way.
