EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by David Williams showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of a massive granite boulder nestled in the enchanting town of Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, India. Aptly named "Krishna's Butterball" this colossal rock stands as a testament to nature's extraordinary creations. As we gaze upon this remarkable sight, our imagination takes flight. How did this enormous boulder come to rest so precariously on its tiny base? It seems almost magical, defying gravity and challenging our understanding of physics. The sheer size and weight of Krishna's Butterball leave us in awe. Its smooth surface glistens under the warm Indian sun, inviting us to reach out and touch it - an irresistible temptation that reminds us of our own insignificance against the grandeur of nature. Intriguing legends surround this geological wonder. Some say it represents Lord Krishna's playful spirit as he enjoyed stealing butter from his mother's kitchen. Others believe it is a divine blessing bestowed upon Mamallapuram for its spiritual significance. Regardless of its origins or symbolism, there is no denying that Krishna's Butterball holds a special place in both local folklore and global fascination. This photograph captures not only its physical magnificence but also the sense of wonderment it evokes within all who behold it. David Williams has masterfully captured the essence and mystique surrounding this natural marvel through his lens, allowing viewers to experience firsthand the magic that lies within Tamil Nadu's ancient landscapes.
