Plains in Khajuraho, a photo from Madhya Pradesh, Central

Photographer's Note

I was saying in my previous picture that Khajuraho, home of the Kamasutra temples, was not a military strategic point nor an important stop on a trade route nor next to an important water bed.

Moreover, one more reason that doesn't explain why those beautiful temples were built there is the poor agriculture.

This picture was taken next to the Eastern Group of temples and shows how dry the land can get. The locals in Khajuraho were telling us that they haven't seen a heavy rain in two years now.

MeAT :)

I like the way you have captured this scene. The colours and textures are remarkable while your framing and the expanse of the shot is great. Nice view converting a mundane field into such an intelligent image
