Cee want E and Fs this week. Hmm this one is a toughie. Lets see what I can come up with 😉
At Frederiksborg castle, Denmark
A budding Engineer and Enfant terrible! Don’t be fooled by his studious demeanor 😉
Okay let me ferry you across from Lucerne to
The fencing at the Darjeeling Zoo
But these entrancing, enchanting, elegant elephants are at the Kolkata Zoo. Aren’t they cute? 🙂
IPK fans and readers of SS, A Chip Off the Old Block -II is up. Click here for Part I
Cheers!
This week Cee wants us to present views from the side for the Fun Foto Challenge. Won’t you join me?
Oops what have we here? One of the most picturesque traffic jams I have seen. My appreciation was probably enhanced by the fact that I was a tourist and on foot 😉
I thought we’d take the train but this one just whooshed us by. So…
How about a ride on a steam locomotive from yesteryears? Come on, just hop on!
Okay time to stretch our legs through a quaint wooden bridge
Check out some cool sculptures on the walls of a grand castle.
Catch a glimpse of a hiding koala – or is it something else?
A camera shy Himalayan bear to wrap up this fun tour 🙂 Which one did you like best?
For IPK fans and readers of SS here's Part I of A Chip off the Old Block
Thanks for visiting – hope you have a good day 🙂
This week’s theme for A Photo a Week Challenge hosted by Nancy is something that has begun to interest me. The challenge is to share a series of the same photograph with different treatments. Amazing how a simple change in color can change the mood instantly. Have a look.
But do wait for the photos to download before scrolling down, slowly.
Humor me – please!
Yikes!!!
Scary, interesting but not terrifying right?
Add a dash of color and she’s quite clownish don’t you think?
And just in case you have been wondering and were curious – that’s my original photo 😉 😀
Like Nancy says – It all depends on what you want.
Thanks for visiting – do share your reactions and preferences.
Have a great week.
It is technically the Spring season and Delhi is awash with colors as you may have seen here. Yet funnily enough, the streets and lawns are strewn with fallen leaves. I cannot but help thinking of it as symbolizing the simultaneous coexistence of the rich and poor, that if it is spring for some, it is fall for others. And if it is fall, can spring be far away?
Finally, I managed to find the perfect foil for spring.
Bougainvillea overgrows a lush green Gulmohar tree with the (almost) bare Peepal tree (I think) towering in the background. Hmm I wonder what color flowers this Gulmohar tree will turn into – red, orange, yellow, purple, pink…

Have a great week 🙂
The Weekly Photo Challenge hosted by the Daily Post has thrown up Atop. Taking the literal route, I bring some views from the top.
On our way up to Mt Pilatus in Switzerland by the cable car, the obdurate spoilsport clouds insisted on obscuring the spectacular view – decided to begin by sharing my frustration 😉
A bunch of flowers sitting atop a pole as a peace offering 😀
A view of Vienna from atop the Ferris wheel
A bird’s eye view of the picturesque city of Prague
And that brings us to the real ‘topper’ – don’t you agree?
Thanks for visiting 🙂
For IPKKND fans and readers of SS - there's a little something from DM's Desk. Do have a look if you are so inclined
The door is clearly having a field day 😀 But I am really curious – what were they thinking? Any guesses? Wilder the better 😉
For Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge
It’s official – winter is over. It came back for one last thunderstorm, a shower of hailstones, forcing us to scramble for the packed up and tucked away woollies. A bummer. But may as well make hay while the sun doesn’t shine for once it does – it’s going to be hot, hotter and hottest. Stepping out, one is likely to get broiled, roasted and grilled in no time at all. Ah well, que sera sera. In the meanwhile, I look around me and marvel at Mother Nature’s way of celebrating the departure of the winter chill and the arrival of warm brighter days. Care to have a look?
Baring heart and soul, she squeezes out red blooms – check out the tips of her outspread branches.
She colors the world green
Yellow and orange
And pink!
There’s even a dash of pink right outside my window 🙂
Peeping out from behind every building, every hoarding, every tree are these cotton tree (Bombax celba) flowers. If you are in Delhi, all you have to do is look up.
A splash of purple on the way to office.
In about a month’s time, taking cue from the summer sun she will wear the colors of the sun – watch this space for more :)
Here’s wishing you all a wonderful, colorful and joyous Holi – the Hindu festival of colors. The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, departure of winter, thanksgiving for a good harvest, a time to forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships.

This week show us a wish – this is the daily post’s weekly photo challenge. What do I wish for? I have to confess I am a bit skeptical about wishes – Be careful of what you wish for, you may receive it” ~ W.W. Jacobs.
But a challenge is a challenge so as the sun rises on a new day, I will settle for a prayer:
May I be so blessed that there is no need for me to wish for anything at all ~ D
If you had a wish, what would you wish for?
