This pic was taken at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi...it is a delightful place for some abstract work. The red color of the structure makes for fabulous pics.
Here I am sharing one pic which was taken quite a while back. The cleaning person had left his broom while he took a break for a smoke!
The evening, directional light made for an interesting compo.

Jantar Mantar is in the modern city of New Delhi, Delhi. It consists of a collection of architectural astronomy instruments, built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur, for his own use, from 1724 onwards. The primary purpose of the observatory was to compile astronomical tables, and to predict the times and movements of the sun, moon and planets. Some of these purposes nowadays would be classified as astrology.

I have been to this place often...I just love the colors and the fabulous compos one can derive, be they abstract or of a graphic nature.



Jai Singh later had another similar observatory, now known by the same name, built for him at Jaipur.

Today the observatory is mainly a tourist attraction, and is significant in the history of astronomy.

I really adore this one. It's simple, colored and the lightning..................WOW !

Iso.

A delightful place for some abstract work, indeed...
Simple but strong and suggestive: some lines, some colours - "visual" silence, but still we can imagine the sound and the smell of the city around.
Strong work.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Hi
Simple but yet so beautiful. Strong colours and great lighting..i like the triangle that produce the shadow of the broom. This would look good on my living room wall. Big and bold.
Well done.
Ps. I've notice that erguvan almost choose the same line to compliment your shot..just a coincidence....so i'm not going to re edit my line...))))
