The Temple of Asclepius built at the little lake there in the park of Villa Borghese, Rome. The temple building itself is late 18th century (built 1785-1792), but it was built as a home for some ancient sculptures. The statue of Asclepius himself is thought to have come from the Mausoleum of Augustus, and the other, smaller pieces are of Hellenistic date and style.

Srirangam in South India is famous for the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple complex. A major pilgrimage destination for Hindus, it is the largest temple complex in India.
This Jain temple was 2 hours away from where I was staying – but was a must-see for me.
This temple is 300+ years old sitting in the middle of a lake. I arrived long before sunrise and was able to watch the opening of the temple. The temple priest crosses the lake in the boat and then rang bells to announce to all the temple is open.
The funny part of the story is after I completed my shooting I went to find the car/driver I had hired. They were gone! I waited 15 minutes and nothing. My cell phone had no coverage, so I hitchhiked to for a ride until I had coverage. Called the booking agent and they got a hold of the driver. He went for tea and then fell asleep. After some drama, we were reunited, and my return trip was uneventful.

The Temple Island in Henley-On-Thames is a beautiful little spot tucked away amongst the more exalted bustle of the Henley Regatta. I first caught wind of this place a few years ago when I had been a spectator at the Henley Regatta. Although I wanted to take some shots, there were not a lot of cloud cover to make it worth my while.
As a landscape photographer, everyone would nod their heads in unison that whilst sunny weather is preferred, all sun with little clouds does not really make for some compelling viewing especially at dusk.
So I went back thinking I should be here on other day when the clouds would play ball. Thing is you do not need too much of wind either or your reflection would be shot. So in all, there are a lot of factors that need to come together to get a good photograph of a place. There wasn't much of a wind blowing although there were a lot of boats going backwards and forwards which leaves a big wake every now and then. So you have to time the shot in between such instances.
In all, it was a decent evening's work at the temple island. Midsummer is a good time to be here with the sun setting adjacent to this location.
