The Golden Bird @ Sunrise

I just looked out of the window today morning, and found what looked like a giant golden bird. I was amazed. Is a fairy tale unfolding? Then I realised that it was the Sun’s effect on jetliner smoke! See and enjoy…..


Hide and Seek



I found the Sun playing hide n seek with me (or was it me who was doing that?)……

The Beauty of Clouds- The Tip of the Iceberg

I had yet another opportunity to get up close with the clouds…..you can find ships, eruptions, animal colonies like in Ice Age, etc… Now I get why the film makers of old picturised dream sequences in the clouds…….

The 'Rainbow Ring' around the Sun



I was excited when someone told me of a spectacular 'Rainbow Ring' around the Sun, on the 8th of March. One could not see it fully, simply because of the blinding Sunlight. To add to it was a stream of smoke left behind by a jet plane. I salvaged whatever I could( hardly anything but brightness was visible on the preview pane). Reviewing the pics, I feel that the jet smoke added to the beauty of the Sun!

Samudra @ Dusk



My family decides  to visit the Gandhi statue beach at short notice.  I would have loved to be there with a bit of brightness around but I couldn't have chosen the time.  Now my limitations in handling the manual settings are in full view.  If only I had a stable hand.......

Brightness through Branches- Jolarpet


I sat on a bench under a huge, shady tree in Jolarpet, awaiting the arrival of my train. I was hit by occasional flashes of light. I knew it was time to take out my camera..........


Jharokha Darshan- Final- Moonset and Enlightenment - Chennai to Arakkonam


One early morning I moved out of town. As I looked out of the window, I saw the Moon still up on a dark canvas. Then, after a while, I felt some brightness, after which I saw 'light'.
