Picture of the ruins by Hampi, near the river...
In the entrance to the Virupaksha Temple...whoever thought bare feet were a good idea must have had some super solid soles... ouch! (Caden had the right thought/response to this challenge. Smart kid.)...
Outside the Lotus Mahal building... apparently in its day, a favorite of the queen one of the few "air-conditioned" buildings in Hampi, an effect accomplished by having men pour water through piping which wound its way through the building. Also smart.
The tour group...
The Vitthala Temple, grandest of all the religious monments in the sacred centre (dedicated to Vishnu the preserver); the columns emit different musical tones when tapped (allegedly - this was guarded for preservation!). But still cool. And I can't even really use an iPod!
That concludes the pictures of Hampi... hope you enjoyed!
