Isn't this breathtaking? This is a mural in a Buddhist temple in India:

I visited India a few years ago, and was amazed by what I saw.

It looks like a peacock spreading out his feathers to show off, doesn't it?


Hope you enjoyed this photo and this little background story!

This is my second entry for this week's B&W PHOTO CONTEST, theme 'Asia-Pacific'.

This B&W PHOTO CONTEST is kindly hosted by @daveks, with guest judge @boxcarblue. Really appreciate you guys for organizing this contest!

Very beautiful!

Thank you @taraamin77! Just saw the peacock feather you posted a few days ago. I didn't know the peacock is the national bird of India!

And here I am, posting an image I took in India, that reminded me of a peacock. Small world, huh? 😉

Hahahaah :P Laughing like Janice :P True!

Beautiful! Which temple is this?

Thanks @mohit18jan! Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the temple, I took this photo years ago and I didn't take notes of the names of the temples or other buildings that I visited.

I like the composition!

Thanks @roytc123! Me too, this photo really stands out among the other ones I took because of the composition.

Awesome photo:) Now following you.

Thanks for your comment, appreciate it!

You did good post B&W Photo Contest mister @livenowandwow!
Looks please on my B&W Photo Contest - Cane in a gust of wind... tHIS POST IS BEAUTIFULL! :

Thanks @bugavi! I looked at your photo, looks great too. So I upvoted it. But which photo contest is your photo for? Is it for this week's Asia-Pacific contest hosted by @daveks (whom you mention in your post), or another contest?

Because the tag "#B&WPhotoContes" in your post actually hyperlinks to the tag #beachwednesday. Which I'm not familiar with, but I understand that one was initiated by @uwelang, according to this post by @pipurilla.

I'm not sure the photo is either beach-related or taken in the Asia-Pacific region.

All a bit confusing...

Hey @livenowandwow, really a great capture. But a small correction, it is not a Hindu temple, it is Buddhist temple.

By the way, during your India visit did you got a chance to visit Jaipur? If yes, then check out my pic, I hope you will like it https://steemit.com/bwphotocontest/@n00s/b-and-w-photo-contest-asia-pacific-2-hawa-mahal-india

Hi @n00s, thanks for pointing that out! I thought it was a Hindu temple, but to be honest I wouldn't really know for sure. So I edited my post.

Really like your photo of Hawa Mahal!

Excellent post my friend, visit my profile, read mine and add me to follow you :)
