Full Resolution I did not take these photos! What happened is that this is known as the bat-temple. Anand took my camera and flash in, went in alone, and pointed it in the dark. (I had pre-focused it.) The flash woke up the bats, so they took off quickly, and flew over our heads out of the temple.
Had I known what was happening, I would have left the bats alone -- I suspect they're pretty cool to watch emerging naturally at sunset, and that's better than bothering them during the day.
Check out the crazy movie...
