Akshardham Swaminarayan Temple, Houston

The following are the images of the Akshardham Swaminarayan temple, Houson. One of them is an upright image; but the other is rotated 180 degrees. Identify them and give as many reasons for the same.

Hello, A first-time visitor. Beautiful picture of the temple. You may already know about the temple in Neasden, London. Just in case, here is a link http://www.mandir.org/index.htm
Sure you will like it. This was built in the 90s by sending stones from Europe to India for carving and then, bringing the finished product back for construction in London. Its an amazing story and no doubt, another beautiful temple.

Somu,
You are right.

But I also want all the possible reasons why :o)

Arvind,
Thank you

The bottom one is the actual snap. The reasons are simple,
1. The sun sets(/rises) behind the temple. In the first one, it appears below the temple which cannot be the case.
2. The mountains are barely visible but they are in the upright position in the 2nd one and are inverted in the 1st one!

The second one....

I am going by the brightness. The reflection cannot be brigher than the original (is it a philosiphical statement or what!).

Lavanya said...

Surya,
Nice one. I never thought about the brightness part of the picture - that's the first think a photographer must notice :)
