Light, Shade and a bit of Greenery in Garden City

I just happened to click them…….

The Sun and Lalbagh, Bangalore

I went to  Bangalore or Bengaluru towards the end of 2011. I'm fond of the place for one more reason- it's famed Lalbagh, which is very close to the Mavali Tiffin Rooms or MTR, where people patiently wait for quite a while before they have their food. We had been to Lalbagh twice within three days, but the Sun's staring at us through the trees happened on the first occasion. I revisited Lalbagh last month- I was on my own and to my own craziness, so I managed to click a few pictures of the Sun and His light! I went all the way to the Lotus Pond in the hope of finding the flowers that bloom in Sunlight, but never mind, I found His reflection!

The Sun shines on the Nilgiris

               Happy Rathasaptami/ Surya saptami, the birthday of the Sun God!

            We went to Ooty in January last year. We enjoyed the train ride on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway(NMR). It was a four day trip and everyday I ended up with some pics on the Sun and His light! One pic is a repeat. Hope you don't mind!

This one is from the toy train en route to Ooty

Pamban Bridge

On our way to Madurai from Rameswaram, we stopped to have a look at the Pamban bridge, a lower- than Road over bridge level steel girder railway bridge which opens in the middle to let steamers and trawlers pass. We were very lucky to see the bridge open. I was excited, I'm sure you'd be, too!

I told you of the Pamban bridge, right?

The Flat Sea of Dhanushkodi

We went on a pilgrimage to Rameswaram in December, 2010. I had no idea of a great experience with Samudra when I left for the place. Wow, it was a case of 'Water, water everywhere'!

Kovalam Beach, Thiruvananthapuram

After a tour of Chowara, we proceeded to the Kovalam beach- it is compact, and the sea is flat, enabling people in venturing moderately deep inside. It is compacted by boulder formations on either side. With the kind of team I was there, venturing deep into the sea was out of question. I made some fuss about taking a round in the speed boat- after all, I'd be well within sight. The result was an expected veto but I vicariously enjoyed when others took it!!

'Come here, so that I may enlighten you', the Sun seems to say @ Kovalam

When I wanted to put up some photos, this is the topic that I thought of…..I didn’t realise then!
