The Ring
Not the Nibulung Ring although the Hindi text likewise never ending on the long long wall,
nevertheless it intrigued me,
why the ring there ... ?
and
why chosing to sit right under it , frozen like a statue ....
what was the link between this odd un-revealed person and this ring ?

Later,
the ring was still there,
the person disappeared ... levitated into the Walkure ?

Next day, same scene, I asked ....

wath a fantastic composition you found here ... I supose it is just a snapshot ... excellent and strong
Piet
oochappan  Ik weet eigenlijk niet wat je met 'snapshot' bedoeld ? dat heeft nogal een pejoratieve betekenis voor velen :). Het is wel zonder statief genomen, erg lastig om mee te sleuren als je reist van hier naar daar ...
Piet Flour  Uiteraard niets verkeerd mee bedoeld, anders zou ik de lof niet zwaaien.
Nee, ik bedoelde enkel dat je de scene niet zelf gecomposeerd hebt, maar wel gezien hebt met het oog van de goede fotograaf. Er zullen velen daar voorbij gekomen zijn, ... maar wie heeft het mooie van het beeld gezien? Jij dus ... en die dingen zien maakt het verschil tussen wat 9999 mensen als beelden meebrengen van op reis, en wat die 1 meebrengt met de speciale kijk.
Sorry voor het misverstand, was zeer positief bedoeld.

Piet
oochappan  ik vermoedde wel het positieve maar toch leuk om lezen hoe je dit in diepte omschrijft, dus sorry hoeft zekers niet :) ...

good capture of a mystery....
good composition with great colours.

my guess is the person is meditating.
Were you able to find out what was going on?
robert
oochappan  Yeah, next day I asked him, daily he comes here to do some yoga, isolating himself from the surroundings but on the question 'why always under the ring' he apparently chose that place unconscious as a mark.
Rosco  if the ring is the only different thing along the wall he may go there not knowing as with the ring he (unconsciously) recgnises his position.

Have you ever noticed at congresses or workshops that once chosen places are always kept for the duration of the session. As if that plac gives security or comfort in an otherwise unknown environment. May be that is the same with the ring.
Robert
oochappan  Indeed we do so many things unconsciously and are surprised when others ask why ?:)
