Life has been very hectic and it’s been a while since I participated in Cee’s photo challenges. I have been keeping track but then I kept getting sidetracked.

Can you not feel the coarseness of this quaint refuge from the hot sun?
This is a section of the outer walls of the Amer fort at Jaipur which is meant to keep out the enemy. Yet there’s something beautiful and captivating about it don’t you think? I wonder if they had specialists who focused on the beautification of ramparts?
Amazing what H2O can be right? 😀 Flowing water, floating clouds or rock solid ice.
A random click of picturesque Prague. The lighter and darker shades of green, the brick roof, both grey and white clouds in a blue sky – sigh…
