Had posted earlier a rare occassion, this one is even more rare :)

Sleeping Pigeon

2008-01-07T03:49:00.000-08:00

It’s very rare that one could find a sleeping one, usually these birds would sense human or predator's presence. Just after another 2 seconds of taking this shot, the bird was airborne :)

Feels good, feels lucky!

About the picture – this morning while on my way to work saw this guy. The c u ltr sticker on the bag was positioned amazing well. Had to follow this guy for a while to get the shot I was looking for.

Castle on the sea shore

2007-07-23T02:18:00.000-07:00

The picture reflcts "Building-a-castle-on-a-sea-shore" implies Team Work, Collective-efforts, and Togetherness and perhaps it also shows that whatever built will come to an end, some day one day!

F R I E N D S, let this word say it all

You and I

2007-07-22T23:32:00.000-07:00

For a day, they wanted to be completely isolated from the whole world and all that jazz (you know what I mean).

"We fell in love all over again today"

While walking on the beach he proposed her saying “I Love you” and she smiled. “It was the same smile she had years back when I first proposed her” he said.

After asking them about how it feels to be together, all they could say was “Heavenly”. Nothing much is needed to be said anyways, it says it all.

100th

2007-05-31T18:25:00.000-07:00

~^ Through The Looking Lens ^~ (TTLL) is celebrating the completion of
its 100th publication today on the last day of May 2007.

This Lotus Flower's shot was taken outside the temple of Goddess Mansa
Devi that is situated at the top of Bilwa Parwat, Haridwar.

This picture symbolizes positive vibes that includes happiness,
positivism, peace and freshness.

With the above said values, TTLL will keep clicking and keep sharing
thoughts with the help of still pictures to express and spread its
vibes.

Symmetry!

2007-01-19T07:45:00.000-08:00

If you see these patterns closely and carefully you would see this pattern can be easily associated with LIFE, vaguely at least!

Every high is followed by a low and then another high comes in. Life’s like a see, waves are ought to come. There would be up’s and down’s, one just need to learn water surfing.

Vaaow! That’s too much gyan, pardon me readers.

The word 'Qutab Minar' means 'axis minaret'.

Quatab Minar, Architectural wonder of ancient India. King Qutubuddin Aibak of Slave dynasty laid the foundation of this 239ft sandstone Tower in 1199, adjoining the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque.

Humayun's Tomb in New Delhi

2006-10-02T04:39:00.000-07:00

This is the entry gate of Humayun's Tomb in New Delhi. Humayun's tomb is believed to have been designed by his widow. Its plan, based on the description of Islamic paradise gardens, is known to have inspired the Taj Mahal and many later Mughal tombs.

The second picture was uploded later...

I've observed that all processing I do on the picture it does not carry the complete effect while uploading.
Picasa seems to be the easy way of posting but surely not for excellent results.

Which one of the two looks better?

Second one in the "Beautiful" series. This flower was different!
Different in color and in size. Unlike the previous flower, this wasn't Surrounded with other flowers.

Do these flowers have lives in them? Can they feel?

Any thoughts, comments are welcomed.

It might bring back your fond memories just like it does for me.
Making paper boats, playing with rain water, dancing in rain for hours is what I used to do. Hoping to enjoy the same way once again when it rains.
What about you?

The Color - GrEEn

2006-06-05T12:35:00.000-07:00

Starting the color series with the color green. The color of freshness, prosperity, and Mother Nature.
Relate it to achievement while at work, good weather while traveling and not to cool while choosing clothes.

Any guesses which place is this?and waiting for your comments to help me improve.

B/W series continued. For those who don't know about this place - this is called Inner Circle area in Connaught Place. In my first job, was located in Connaught Place and have lots of memories of this place. Surely can say that I know this place quite well, which looks confusing to some.

About the shot, I can't judge this shot coz I like it even if it didn't came out well
How could this have been clicked for better results?

Your comments please.
