Skywatch Friday

A new journey, a new destination . I am off to Jordan today courtesy Visit Jordan, the Tourism Board and I cannot tell you how excited I am. On Thanksgiving day, I feel grateful that I get to see so many unexpected surprises on my lap.

While I explore new vistas, here is my contribution for Skywatch- a sun setting against the backdrop of the Chausath Yogini temple, one of the oldest of the shrines in Khajuraho, built around the 9th century.







I was fortunate enough to have Lalit group of hotels hosting me on recommendation from Small Luxury Hotels of the World and I had a great guide in Mamaji, a veteran tourist guide and scholar who took us to all these temples.

For great skies around the world , visit Skywatch.

In more ways
than one knows
the world is round ...

To some ,
its the
quiet of the dusk,
trees standing still
as the birds
hurry home,
after watching the
believers
at the Chausath Yogini Shrine...

And to some,
its a
Cheerful,

Shrek

looking up
and
wishing
the Rising Sun,
a great
Good Morning .....

It takes all kinds
to make our world.
Round.
Friedman, take that !
