I'm amazed -- The Deepest Step Well in the World -- repost from Reality POD

When I saw this picture earlier on my Facebook page, I remember a picture or painting that look similar to this. I thought it was just someone imagination but when I saw this, I was so amazed how similar to that picture and how people use their creativity and ingenuity to actually create and build something like this...it is so....wow!!!  BRAVO REALITY POD FOR POSTING THIS PICTURE!!!

So check it out my re-posting from Reality POD

Chand Baori is a famous step-well situated in the village Abhaneri near Jaipur in Indian state of Rajasthan.

The Chand Baori, a vast well with flights of steps on three sides, is a 10th century monument situated in Abhaneri. It is a fine example of the architectural excellence prevalent in the past. This impressive step well is as deep as a seven storeyed building. The famous Harshat Mata temple situated opposite to this well shows that there must have been a religious connection with the step-well. The well is 35 m on each side with steps leading down from each side and water can be drawn from any level.
