[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I guess I am not getting any closer than this! I was allowed a little closer to other gates of this immense Jaggernath temple, but never inside. It is one of the largest Hindu temples in the world. It was built in the late 1100's. Jaggernath is the God of the entire Universe. Even the princess of Thailand could not enter. I think it is sad to not allow all people to see such a wonderful ancient complex as this.

Hi gloria

A good daily life shot, with excellent color. The folded arms & facial expression of the guard on the right, send clear body language signals of an impasse. I like the linear perspective leading to the temple. Good work!

Hi Gloria, good to see you are still out there doing your National geograpphic bit for the rest of us. A pity the sky is so bland on this one. The rest of the colours are nicely saturated. But I would have cropped the blurred guy out.

Hi Gloria, looking at his body language there is definitely no way he will ever let you in.

Thanks for your continuous travelogue here on TL, we all learn a lot from it.
