Photos of Belur, Halebid (India)

More pictures from our sightseeing here in Karnataka, India… These
are of the Hoysala temples at Belur and Halebid (started in the year 1116, the Channekeshava Temple at Belur is still in daily use for Hindu
worship). John was experimenting with our digital camera (the Pentax s55
Optio he got for his Sun 15 year anniversary gift!) and took some
panoramic shots and videos as well as still shots. The camera works
very well for still subjects but anything moving is tricky.
