Reached Khajuraho in the afternoon, strangely even though my MTNL GPRS connection was working properly en route, it isn’t working here! Thankfully my Idea GPRS connection is working, however it is frighteningly expensive and slower! So photos for now would be fewer than I would have normally posted.
Any ways, ride from Jhansi to Khajuraho was a mixed bag, though largely good, with mostly nice single lane road with sparse traffic and lovely green fields along the route.
Kind of like this:
Also tried my hand at panoramas, though I don’t think they came out well, will only get to know their real status, when I get home and try to do post processing on them.
Oh yes, went to the roof top restaurant of the hotel I am staying at (Siddharth), it had a nice view of the western group of temples (slightly blocked by trees). When I asked the waiter if I would be able to photograph the light and sound show, he said photography wouldn’t be possible as light is less and they are mostly illuminated from the other side. I only smiled mildly and spent the last four hours there, mostly standing and taking photographs :).
Here is a photograph I took, before darkness engulfed the sky.
Long exposure ones will accompany the travelogue ;).
Tomorrow the real sightseeing will begin..
