Yawning Monkey in front of Badami Caves

Post by Ravi's Photography.

Location: Badami, Karnataka, India

Camera: Nikon D600

Male monkey yawning early in the morning. In the background you will find a lake and the ancient 4th man made cave. This place is protected by ASI - Archaeological Survey of India and is one of famous tourists places under Karnataka Tourism – KSTDC. There are 4 man made caves and a natural cave. There is a fort on top of this cave. Also, there are too many ancient temples around. Best time is to visit during rainy season as there is a waterfall behind one of the temples and the pond will almost be full and the temple will be half submerged under water.

Stone Age paintings

These paintings/ symbols crop up throughout the prehistoric world. These hands were painted on the walls of a cave in Rio Pinturas, Argentina. The hand forms were created by pressing all or part of the hand against the surface, after having applied paint or clay. This symbol is surprisingly rare, found at just under 7 per cent of the French sites studied. Its earliest know appearance is at Chauvet, from where it seems to have spread out in all directions. By 13,000 years ago it had fallen out of use.
