Monsoon Days in Hampi, Karnataka
Posts were infrequent here for most of July, since I was travelling for much of this month. I began my July with a travel photography workshop in Badami. Later, in the second week, I was out leading a week long photography tour in Lahaul & Spiti, Himachal. Subsequent to that I spent another week travelling through the heritage cities of North Karnataka. Before I knew it, the month was over!
The image below is from my last week’s visit to Hampi. It was memorable to me, primarily in enjoying the monsoon weather and seeing all the livestock that thrived on the abundant grass everywhere.
