For this week’s Fun Foto Challenge, Cee wants to see something that is related to Autumn or Metal. For metal, it should combine strength and beauty.

A warship – isn’t she impressive?

From the ferry taking us to Sweden from Denmark

This one is honking and snorting steam, ready to take us to Havelock Islands, Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Cutting across the ocean, striding ahead without a care in the world

Couldn’t resist a final photo – Autumn or is it spring?

Have a wonderful day and thanks for joining me, hope you had a fun ride 🙂

For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Harvest: Earth

Sorry about the blurred images. Pics were taken from inside a moving car.

For readers of Moonshine here's Chapter 133

Summer is here and it is only right that the Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge should focus on Summer: Fire

So, without any further ado, hop on for a fiery ride 🙂

Where there’s smoke there’s bound to be fire right?

Some fiery orange blossoms

Bright yellow flowers hanging upside down – anyone know what they are called?

Nice summery feel to this garden isn’t there?

If you are looking for something that is really combustible – here we are. Probably guilty (at least partly) of the global warming 😉

Thanks for visiting – do let me know your favourite pic 🙂

For readers of Moonshine, here's  Chapter 131

Spring and wood what more could I ask for! Thanks Cee for this challenge 🙂

Let’s take a stroll through the woods shall we?

V is for victory 🙂

After a bitter and long battle

Tossing out blossoms white and

and pink ones too

One day tiny shoots, and the next day they shoot up to reach for the sky. Such is the magic of life.

And before you know it, the tiny blooms grow up  – tall and strong

Disclaimer – I have clicked only one of these photos (can you guess which one?) the rest are all shares from family. Hmm I guess that makes them my photos 😉

For readers of Moonshine, here's Chapter 129

And this one is is nothing short of an epic poem 😀

For Becca’s Sunday Trees 281

Have a super Sunday.

Nancy’s A Photo a Week Challenge is about Two Materials. Funny how sometimes pictures just fall into my lap specifically tailor-made for challenges. For this one I had just about begun to wonder what to do when these two pics (among others) landed into my phone from far away places.

Doesn’t it look lovely? Wait till you see the larger picture…

He may not be good at shopping but he sure is good at shooting and capturing beauties 😉 😀

Have a great weekend!

Some photos for Cee’s weekly black and white photo challenge: G or H.

Won’t you step in through the gate? Come on in and take a stroll

And take a stroll along the Radhanagar beach at Havelock Islands, Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Or you could hop over to Ross Island to catch a glimpse of what it really means to be under House arrest 😉

Let’s cut half way across the world to the Denmark zoo for some lessons on how to enjoy your meal. Can you see the sheer joy and bliss on his face? That’s the way to be – at one with the moment. Let the lookers look on!

Back home, I found a kitty playing hide and seek at a wedding venue. All those fishy smells…

Time to say goodbye 😉

For readers of Moonshine, here's Chapter 127

Save

Spring came and went – pushed away by a relentless and impatient Sun. But it was a treat while it lasted. Have a look.

Quite riot of colors isn’t it? This is one of my favorite pictures taken at a park in Delhi. What do you think?

In response to Nancy’s challenge: Spring

Have a great week.

So far Cee has made us look up and down and from the side.  And now it’s time to cover all that is left – back, bottom and underneath. I am guessing you all are tired from all that tramping about with me from one place to another. So for just this once, sit back relax and watch the fun. This time I bring to you glimpses of Raibeshe, a genre of folk martial dance performed by males, in West Bengal, India. Traditionally, this dance involves display of vigorous physical prowess along with the acrobatics of a raibansh (a long bamboo stick), from which its name originated.

The picture is a bit blurred isnt it? So let me just explain – there is one man on top of another man’s head. Hey wait, he is standing on a earthen pot balanced on the other man’s head. Go on have a closer look.

Okay another picture, just for you. Hopefully a bit clearer.

Oh this one is a bit different – a wooden block on which rests two earthen clay pots and he stands on top of that.

A different kind of pole dance 😉

This one is a bit complicated. The man lying underneath with his legs up supports all the men on the pole balanced on his feet

The focus here is on the glass underneath the wheel…

Hope you enjoyed the show!

Thanks for visiting 🙂
