Tiruchirappalli from above Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a view of Tiruchirappalli (shorter: Trichy) from the Rockfort temple.
I thought thst it is interesting the mix of architectures along this road.

Tiruchirappalli, situated on the banks of the river Cauvery is the fourth largest city in Tamil Nadu.
The most famous land mark of this bustling town is the Rockfort Temple, a spectacular monument perched on a massive rocky out crop which rises abruptly from the plain to tower over the old city. It was one of the main centers around which the wars of the Carnatic were fought in the 18th century during the British-French struggle for supremacy in India. The city is a thriving commercial centre in Tamil Nadu and is famous for artificial diamonds, cigars, handloom cloth, glass bangles and wooden and clay toys.

Bonsoir,
belle photo de ce quartier pris de très haut, ce qui permet de bien en voire les ramifications, de se rendre compte de la nombreuse animation de cette rue principale.
Jolie prise sous un bon POV.

Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens

Grande, Silvia, grande foto con una profondità incredibile.
Un caos ordinato, una partizione degli spazi veramente gratificante per la vista.
Godibilissima.
Ciao, Bobo.

Hola Livia.
Very good panoramic view of a busy street in Trichy, good high POV, the different colors of the houses produces a nice contrast as the temple on the right does with the rest of the houses. I like your frame and clarity. Well done.
Cheers.
