The world at Twilight

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. 

It's then, before sunrise and after sunset, that we see nature at it's best. 

The sky runs riot,

with the entire gamut.

Like a giant canvas spread up above us, every minute provides a spectacle of sight. 

With myriad hues across the spectrum, one can never tire of the beauty of light.  

From navy blue to crimson red, it's twice a day of pure delight.

Pondering Paradise

Himalayan Sunset

sunrise at the center of the universe

The rise of Fall..

I woke up late on a Sunday evening..

Sunday blues.. you know that feeling..

But as I step out to begin my day,

I see the world in a brand new way.

As the evening sunshine hits my face,

I stroll along at a leisurely pace.

As the steady fall breeze streams on by,

one reminisces a world gone by.

Smells of barbeque fill the air,

and voila, i've stumbled into the Broadway street fair!

As the light fades,

the sky bleeds blue in many shades.

As night falls

over the vendor's stalls,

the air gets crisp

with a little nip.

This change of weather, like a palliative balm,

has left us all with a deep sense of calm.

Shadows and silhouettes: An ode to light

As Humans, we have come to evolve the sense of sight, a sense that has now become so powerful, we are consumed by it, often forgetting to take a moment and soak it all in. Beauty truly lays in the eye of the beholder.

For every person with the gift of sight, there is a different interpretation of the meaning of beauty.

Sight, is only possible in the presence of light without which, our idea of beauty may be compared with that of a mole or a bat. Thus, my interpretation of beauty lies in what I see, and how it appears to me in the presence of light.

 My work comprises images taken at different times in different places with whatever image capturing device available to me at the time. People have said my pictures convey a sense of melancholy, a yearning for a time gone by, or the simple acceptance of the endless circle of life and death.

This may be true, for the inexorability of time is hard to ignore in our ephemeral lives.
