the sideshow

Found this little fountain (if you can call it that) by the side of the main one. One of those things in life which you generally ignore but for some reason, it caught my attention. Turned out to be worth the while.

Munich Airport. A stopover. Sleepy eyes. Tired body. Jet lagged body. And then a beautiful sunrise. Heavenly.

Downtown Philadelphia

Downtown Philadelphia. As beautiful as it is dangerous. A cold night, with ice on the sidewalk, avoiding the traffic, it was all worth it when I saw this.

Vedanthangal bazaar

Vedanthangal bird sanctuary. An idyllic peaceful location filled with the sounds of birds and more birds. Its about 200 Kms from Chennai. Birds migrate here all year. And I suspect, the scenes in Avatar were probably inspired from this location :)

Potter at work

This was taken at Dakshina Chitra, about 50 Kms from Chennai. It is a place that showcases the 4 southern states of India - TN, Kerala, Andhra and Karnataka. This was in the TN section. This potter was all concentration as he worked on it and the result was, classic. Its all in the concentration.

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Glass pumpkins

These glass pumpkins are at Longwood gardens as part of the Fall feature.
The exposure just came out exactly as I intended with the lens wide open, rather widest open. Would have hated to use a flash here!
