Don’t you folks worry; I still got more pics from my holiday. Right now my both eyes are stinging for God knows what reasons and I am having difficulty concentrating. So once I can figure out what’s wrong with me eyes, I would post more pics.

So till my next post ya, its bye from Ganz.

People are, if anything, more touchy about being thought silly than they are about being thought unjust.
E. B. White (1899 - 1985)

A man decided to visit a hermit who lived near the monastery of Sceta.

“What is the first step of one who aims to follow the spiritual path?” he asked.

The hermit took him to a well and asked him to look at his reflection in the water. The man obeyed, but the hermit began to throw small stones, making ripples on the surface.

“I won’t be able to see my face right if you keep throwing stones.”

“Just as it is impossible to see your face in troubled waters, so it is impossible to seek God if your mind is anxious about the search,” said the monk. “Don’t ask questions, just move forward with faith. This will always be the first and most important step of all.

Camera setting I used when I was in the Valluvar Kottam.
1) Exposure: 1/15s at f/3.5
2) Shutter priority mode
3) ISO Speed 400
4) Manual white balance
5) No flash

This cave was slightly darker than Valluvar Kottam so I had to notch down my shutter speed slightly lower to get the pictures. I think some of the pics turned out really great given the fact I didn’t use a tripod and was shooting on a low shutter speed. Hopefully in time I can become a decent shot.
