BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Pictures

[Keleko]

The BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir was inaugurated in August of 2007. the Mandir is comprised of 3 typs of stone: Turkish limestone, Italian marble, and Indian pink sandstone. More than 34,000 individual pieces were carved by hand, shipped to the USA, and assembled in Lilburn, GA, like a giant 3-D puzzle.

Here are a few of the pictures I took.

The full set is available at Flickr.

What a great location to shoot.
Nice work, I love the detail found in the railing on your Picture of the day thread and flickr page.

You have some great shots here. For me, in the elephant one, if the focus had been on the second one instead of the first, it would be absolutely perfect (not that it isn't 99.99% there already ) With the way the light is drawing my eye to it, if it was sharp, it would really stand out. Of course this is all imho. Great work!

Actually, I completely agree with you on the elephant. I wish I had noticed when I was taking the picture that the second one down was actually brighter. One of those things I need to work on, since I haven't been doing this very long.
