Ricky's All Day Grill | Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
I took this photo toward the end of the pandemic when restaurants were starting to open up. You might notice cones at the entrance intended for social distancing. Creativity-wise, it is not my best photo, but the composition was hard to get as this location was rarely this empty.
The Range, York, Yorkshire, England

NOTEWORTHY NODE CONNECTING MUMBAI TO SOUTH INDIA - DAUND JUNCTION
Though not one of my best photos, it’s so dear to me as I am a passionate rail fan. Snapped at a stopover here for a loco change from electric (5300hp) to twin headed diesel (2600hp+2600hp). Indeed, it was pure delight being on a train from Mumbai for 32hrs... enjoying the beauty of 5 scenic states... traversing 1900kms... crossing the 2.2kms long perilous Pamban bridge and ultimately reaching the pious place of Rameswaram - the southern most tip of India. Undeniably, rail sound is music to my ears and the sight of trains makes me super happy.😀😍
Happy to see India in 
Louis Philippe Men's Clothing Store, The Pavilion Mall, Pune
This photo was captured while having family time at Louis Philippe Men's Clothing Store, The Pavilion Mall, Pune, and they had just updated the window decoration at that time, and luckily I had a good and clean photo of the storefront. Though this is my second highest viewed photo but I liked it, so thought of sharing with you all!
I hope this covers all the aspect required.
Cheers!
Rose Garden BBQ, Melbourne, Australia
Ok there seems to be a bit of a trend towards food in my star photos. My previous star photo was of a meal and now my current star photo is of a restaurant, which has blitzed into the lead! It is of a rather unpretentious looking restaurant but do not be fooled by it's appearance! This restaurant serves some of the most delicious Chinese & Malaysian meals I have ever tasted! They have a limited menu but I seriously cannot wait to visit again.
Royal Hospital for Women, Randwick, NSW, Australia
My Star photo was delivered when I was waiting for a delivery 🙂 Such great memories from this time. This is one of the biggest hospitals in Sydney. Such a a great city too.
Heart And General Hospital - Cardiologist | Heart Hospital in Jaipur | Angioplasty | Cardiac Hospitals in Jaipur
This is my latest star photo. In my previous job, I traveled to hospitals and healthcare practitioners, capturing these snapshots for memory. These were my early days on Google Maps. With a name rich in keywords, this picture enjoys record-high views, though it's unexpected for me! Go and check the review link for more info- https://goo.gl/maps/9EmY3a3G7cVqC9tE9
This image I captured with MOTO G 5G and this is my entry for Top100 Star Photo leaderboard.

Ganesha Ratha, Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India.
The Ganesha Ratha is a temple or Chariot. This is one of the 40 Monuments situated in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of ten rathas carved out of pink granite within the group of these monuments. This RATHA is an example of monolith Indian rock-cut architecture of the 7th century, during the reign of King Mahendravarman I and his son Narasimhavarman I. Initially constructed as a Shiva Linga (Lord Shiva) Temple, is now with a Ganesha deity. This temple conducts daily rituals/pooja. The link to the Google Maps is Here.
Smaranika Tram Museum, Kolkata, West Bengal, India
I have got a new star in my photo collections for Local Guides! Recently in April 2023, I discovered this hidden gem in form of a tram museum in the heart of the Indian city of Kolkata - a museum set up within an abandoned tramcar (light electric rail-car that runs within the city) that displays the historic timeline of trams evolving from horse-driven days in the early 20th century in British Indian Kolkata till today's last few leftover tramcars almost getting forgotten as the city prefer faster vehicles these days. This image was shot on a Samsung Galaxy M31S device on point-and-shoot mode.
One of the iconic buildings of Rajshahi College (shown in the picture) is an excellent example of British Indian colonial architecture.
