As soon as I read the line “The quickest way between two points might be a straight line, but it’s rarely the most interesting one” by “Ben Huberman” in the weekly photo challenge post, the first image that came to my mind was the huge temple pond of a famous temple of north kerala, Peralassery.
I had loads of fun taking these steps in zigzag manner. This is the typical temple pond steps pattern followed in these part of the world.
Perfect! Great photo of the temple pond and its steps!

What an incredible place (and an incredible photo…capturing the ambiance). The quotation is perfect, “The quickest way between two points might be a straight line, but it’s rarely the most interesting one” and couldn’t agree more.

This is truly a very interesting place for photography and I missed out a wide angle lens.
I managed with whatever I had and it turned out to be okey.
Thanks a lot for your time, Dalo 🙂

There are many a temple ponds around my area, but this one is huge. Even I haven’t see anything like this before.
Zigzag is the exact word to describe the way I had navigated through those steps 🙂

You are absolutely right, Erwin.
Everybody was taking the straight steps to go down and wash their feet clean before entering the temple.
I was moving through all these interesting steps in three dimensions… and had a great time photographing.
Thanks a lot for the visit and have a beautiful day ahead 🙂

I guess I’ve missed many of your posts this summer – it is a busy time for a gardener!
Love this image – you mentioned this style of architecture is common in this area. Is it mainly for effect or is there a more spiritual reason? Like a meditative practice perhaps?

I am not quite sure about the spiritual part of this architecture, but believes that there should be some connection.
