[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The ancient Golconda Fortress, 10 km West of Hyderabad, in India, was the capital of the Qutb Shahi kings from 1507 to 1687. It has a 7 km perimeter; enclosing the Shah's palaces and the fortress proper constructed on a 130 meter granite hill. Most of the construction is in bad shape and ruins with virtually no conservation.
This picture was taken in on of the many hidden rooms around the ancient construction. I took advantage of the light shinning through an opening on the wall to have a balance effect with the not-so-ancient red graffiti on the back wall.

The water was added to the photo to make it more interesting. If you walking around Golgonda Fortress, bring your own bottle of water. There is only one (suspicious) place to collect water and another to by it.
I classified as HPP because the water addition.

Comments and critiques are welcome.

Cheers,

A antiga Fortaleza de Golconda, a 10km oeste de Hyderabad na Índia, foi a capital do reino de Qutb Shahi de 1507 a 1687. Tem um perimetro de 7km e dentro das muralhas existem várias construções e palácios no morro de granito 130 metros de altura. A maior parte das construções estão mal conservadas e em ruinas.
Esta foto foi feita em um dos muitos quartos em ruinas escondidos por toda a construção. Tentei tirar vantagem da luz que entrava por um buraco enorme na parede para balancear a foto com as imagens vermelhas não tão antigas na parede do fundo.

A água foi acrescentada a foto para torna-la mais interessante. Se você for andar pela fortaleza de Golconda, traga sua própria garrafa. Existe somente um lugar (suspeito) para apanhar água e outro aonde se pode comprar.

Classifiquei a foto como HPP pela adição da água.

Críticas e comentários são muito bem vindos.
Abraços,

Wellington
