photography, travel

let there be light!

a photo post in response to the weekly photo challenge: let there be light!

light comes in many forms… from the glimmering brass valakku my grandma lights everyday to the black stone diyas outside temples. from modern streetlights to those that exude old-world charm. from cities dressed up in light to tunnels that aren’t all dark!

light. creates. light.

  13. thank cpa!

    that’s a great suggestion, every doorstep and window ledge would be lit with a diya no? but we have let go of diyas or valakkus and replaced them with electric bulbs. somehow don’t like those as much!
