You see a photo of a temple in a hill station, taken from a high vantage point. The photo shows the town's layout and highlights its principal structures. It's interesting because the photographer, a British colonel, used his new skill to document Indian temples and monuments. Look up the technique of sfumato to learn more about how artists create depth and volume in their work.
