Misty Rainbow

Watching this faint rainbow from the flight, I was suddenly hit by the thought that this was the first time i was looking at a rainbow with land forming the backdrop!
Shot this photo somewhere over Phillipines, just before landing at Manilla

Water-splashed landscape

Splendid highway, lush green vegetation on the sides, and you are zipping past this amazing sight on your vehicle....
hey, slow down... the clouds have just opened up and your windscreen gets drummed with the heavy drops. Your speed reduces to a crawl, you turn on the fog-lights. The driver may be cursing, but you, in the passenger seat, can now see a magical canvas unfold right in-front of you. The clear sharp green trees now become blurred. What you now see is what appears as a water-splashed painting.

The Bangladeshi Panaroma

on cloudless days in cherranpunjee, you can view the vast green marshy expanse of bangladesh stretching far out to the horizon.
This view is from Khoram Hah, a good tourist spot at cherrapunjee.

Views from Ladakh - 1

This is Pangong Tso (Lake), Ladakh. Its a large lake, with one-third of it in India, and the rest in Tibet.

Sunrise in Kumaon

around 5:45 a.m.. i come out of my room at Munsyari and i see this.... This is Kumaon range, bathed in the first rays... the five peaks seen at the left are called Panchachuli... Its believed that Yudhistira (of Mahabharata) went to heaven from the highest peak of the Panchachuli range...

Green Leh

It was June, 2006 and I was in Ladakh.... It was my first trip where I had started photography... and the pictures are still very dear to me... This one was taken while leaving Leh and going to Pangong Lake... The greenery amidst the barren rock is a real treat to my eyes everytime i see this...

When the world turns over, and the Sun rises.......

Puri, Orissa.....
Orissa, India - on the way to Puri, I saw the golden ball rise ... Be'er Sheva, Israel -- a new day begins, a new canvas gets painted and I applaud at the hues......



Sunrise at Be'er Sheva, Israel... from under the sand dunes....
