The gables at most temples throw nice shadows in the early morning.
Wat Phothiwararam Temple, Udon Thani.
Ikkeri Temple
Ikkeri:
3 kms south of Sagar town is Ikkeri, the old capital city of Keladi Nayakas. The Aghoreshwara temple here combining the best of Hoysala and Dravidian styles of architecture stands testimony to the former greatness of the place. This large well-proportioned stone structure has a lofty roof and ornamental doorways leading to the deity - a metal image of Aghoreshwara with three arms.
Temple Gorge in the Kennedy Ranges in Western Australia. The Kennedy Ranges is a large sandstone plateau around 12-25km wide and 75km long. It is around 80m high. The geology is interesting with the range being under water (much longer than I've been here :P) so there are reports of fossils of marine creatures embedded in the rock.
Milky Way is taken just after the sun sets with some after glow still visible on the horizon and some zodiacal light rising from Temple Rock. As it's a very dark location (the rocks are reddish) I took blue hour shots of the foreground (I prefer not to do this) but the camera stayed on the tripod system the whole time including the capture of the stars.
When I visited this temple in Bangkok, I was (unfortunately) there at a busy time of the day, and had plenty of harsh sunlight. So the swarm of tourists, heat, and harsh midday sun forced me to switch gears. As I wandered through the temple grounds I found myself drawn to the geometric details of the buildings, mixed with other elements, such as lines and shadows. It always takes me a few days to get into the groove of photographing at the start of a trip, and today I think I’ve started to discover my stride.⠀

Another shot of the last completed portion of my massive project. It's been a pleasure to build spaces for a unique setting that have allowed freedom to make things like a temple surrounded by strange plants, built inside of a pocket dimension.

The Temple of Portunus or Temple of Fortuna Virilis (manly fortune) is a Roman temple in Rome, Italy, one of the best preserved of all Roman temples. Its dedication remains unclear, as ancient sources mention several temples in this area of Rome, without saying enough to make it clear which this is. It was called the Temple of Fortuna Virilis from the Renaissance, and remains better known by this name. If dedicated to Portunus, the god of keys, doors and livestock, and so granaries, it is the main temple dedicated to the god in the city.
It is in the Ionic order and is by the ancient Forum Boarium by the Tiber, during Antiquity the site overlooked the Port Tiberinus at a sharp bend in the river; from here, Portunus watched over cattle barges as they entered the city from Ostia.
The temple was originally built in the 3rd or 4th century BC but was rebuilt between 120–80 BC, the rectangular building consists of a tetrastyle portico and cella, raised on a high podium reached by a flight of steps, which it retains. Like the Maison Carrée in Nîmes, it has a pronaos portico of four Ionic columns across and two columns deep. The columns of the portico are free-standing, while the remaining five columns on the long sides and the four columns at the rear are half-columns engaged along the walls of the cella. This form is sometimes called pseudoperipteral, as distinct from a true peripteral temple like the Parthenon entirely surrounded by free-standing columns. The Ionic capitals are of the original form, different in the frontal and side views, except in the volutes at the corners, which project at 45°, a common Roman detail. It is built of tuff and travertine with a stucco surface.
If still in use by the 4th-century, the temple would have been closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire. The temple owes its state of preservation to its being converted for use as a church in 872 and rededicated to Santa Maria Egiziaca (Saint Mary of Egypt). Its Ionic order has been much admired, drawn and engraved and copied since the 16th century. The original coating of stucco over its tufa and travertine construction has been lost.

A temple arch. The design is not taken from any specific temple or culture, but takes inspiration from the temples of Tamil Nadu, India (although they are a lot more colourful). Also the guardian lions are more South East Asian.
