Clicked these pictures of the fort at Vellore (Tamil Nadu), this summer. This fort is of historical significance. This was where the first ever mutiny against the British took place - in 1806 - long before the Sepoy Mutiny in Meerut in 1857!
The 200th anniversary of this event was celebrated recently. Kumudam.com has a special feature about this fort (dated 14.08.'06).

The moat has water throughout the year, surprisingly! I have never seen the moat dry! Now, boating has been introduced in the moat!
Loved the brilliant painting on the sky, by nature! A part of the fort can be seen as silhouette on the left.
Update: All 3 pics above are silhouettes and the details are not visible. So, here we go - one more snap, with better detail!
