A weekend at a fort - part 2

[harsh.kataruka]

Hi Guys,

This is the 2nd part of the weekend at Laxmangarh fort photographs.

the central courtyard. all 13 rooms of the fort open onto this courtyard



another turret of the fort



the fort had its own reservoir to harvest rain water from drinking.. it's 80 ft by 40 ft by 13.5 ft of water.. and the purification system is unknown, and the water level automatically adjusts to 13.5 ft, in case of any overflow.
Currently, the depth is about 8ft.. that means about 712 cubic mts of water at the time the photo was taken.
the water, btw, is amazingly sweet



tried a panoramic view of the terrace and the town below and beyond. this was first panoramic attempt, so the left sky is blown out, and was handheld, so its tilting to left totally.



Hope u like them..

Cheers,

Harsh
