The famous and unique Golden Temple in Amritsar is a sight to behold. Its more than 500 years old and is a central religious place of the Sikhs. In the early nineteenth century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh covered the upper floors of the gurdwara with gold, which gives it its distinctive appearance and its English name.

This is not a B/W image, the inside the lighthouse is painted a stark white, and with a bit of over exposure, this gorgeous image results!

Long exposures at night make up this HDR image. One can see the clouds have moved quite a bit in that duration!

Took this on a freezing winter evening.

Inside the Planten un Blomen in Hamburg. This photo is straight out of the camera! Not photoshopped. Late in the evening, as I was walking around, I chanced on this beautiful reflection, and the light was just perfect.

All the sights that make up the waterfront in the Minato Mirai 21 area: Cosmo World Ferris Wheel, the Intercontinental Hotel, the Kishamichi Promenade, and the Landmark Tower.

Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater (sweet) lake in North -East India, is famous for the phumdis (heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil, and organic matters at various stages of decomposition) of different geometrical shapes floating over it. People live on the larger floating islands.
Some of the structures are man made for fish farming.

View from underneath a massive electric pylon. I thought my head would be fried since I was standing right under gazzilion volts, but alas nothing happened.

Horder of pigeons fly over the Central Library in Cubbon Park, almost like a fleet of bombers on a mission.

A famous landmark in Berlin, the TV Tower cuts through the air. It can be seen for miles and the contrast between this modern marvel of engineering and the ancient churches and palaces that surround Berlin is striking.

The Chinesischer Turm ("Chinese Tower") is a 25 metre high wooden structure, first constructed in 1789 to 1790, from a design by the Mannheimer military architect Joseph Frey (1758–1819).
It was modelled on the "Great Pagoda" in the Royal Botanic Gardens in London. The Pagoda, twice as high as the tower, was supposed to resemble a porcelain pagoda in the gardens of a Chinese emperor. The Munich tower has five storeys: the ground storey roof has a diameter of 19 m, the topmost storey of 6 m.
On July 13, 1944, the original tower burned down after heavy bombing; but a society to rebuild it was formed in 1951 and the new tower, made true to the original by consultation of detail photos and old drawings, was completed in September, 1952.
