Evening reflections on Lake Staz (Stazersee), a small mountain lake near St. Moritz, Engadin, Switzerland.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
In this photograph taken from the Ross Bridge as the sun set very low in the west, I'll let the picture be the poem. As I said in my previous shot today, I have not messed around with my colours. These last two shots are as I saw them looking south across the still waters of the Macquarie River in Ross.
The deciduous tree branches have caught the dying golden rays of the sun, and the calm water reflects them like a mirror. The hills in the background seem to be caressed by the gentle light. It is a scene of pure serenity in a world gone mad.
If there is one lesson to be learned from this picture it is this: We are born of Nature and we are part of Nature, and so long as we return to Nature all is well with our soul.

Having a talk with "the Bard" at Leicester Square Gardens before heading for The Lyseum Theatre ...
The evening light set up the "stage" with colourful shades and reflective shapes around his statue and its pedestal,which is flanked by dolphins at the centre of a fountain.
The scroll held by Shakespeare is inscribed with a quotation from the Twelfth Night ...
"There is no Darkness but Ignorance"
He was a master of figurative language;his lessons still resonate today,and characters from his plays continue to appeal to our humanity.He punctuated big moments with heroic couplets and ended powerful scenes with tidy rhymes.This is Poetry,I thought to myself ...
"Good, my lord, will you see the players well bestowed?
Do you hear, let them be well used; for they are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time.
Suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of nature ... "
Hamlet (1600-1602)
** Ben Jonson contributed a long poem in praise of Shakespeare,a formal panegyric.It is one of the best known of all comments on Shakespeare,and one of the most generous.

"He was not of an age, but for all time! And all the Muses still were in their prime, when, like Apollo, he came forth to warm our ears, or like a Mercury to charm!He must be put with the greatest classical tragedians Euripides, Sophocles, Seneca ; and in comedy, he stands alone, above even Aristophanes, Terence and Plautus." Ben Jonson
Good morning, folks! Hope your weekend is off to a great start! Here's a unique perspective of the stunning sunset in Cleveland, Ohio. Enjoy!
Gladhouse Reservoirs main Island reflected in the still water during the evening.
Gladhouse is the largest area of fresh water in the Lothians & is a good circular walking route not far from home.
Some Poppy fun at Gladdy...
beneath the pillars of a quiet night, she sits with her loyal companion. the city moves, but here, time stands still. a cigarette burns slowly, a phone glows faintly, and the dog rests in quiet contentment. two souls sharing a stillness, each immersed in their own world yet undeniably connected.

I took this stunning photograph of Lake Erie during a tranquil evening. The sky was painted with hues of blue and gold, with streaks of clouds creating a dramatic contrast against the calm waters below. The gentle reflections on the lake's surface enhanced the peaceful ambiance, making it a perfect moment of nature's quiet splendor.
Thank you for viewing! If you like this photo, remember to favorite it and follow for more!
Taken in Amritsar, India.
After the sun went down the sky turned pink / purple creating some stunning contrast with the illuminated gold leaf. It was an almost unbelievable sight to witness. If you only visit one place in India make it the Golden Temple of Amritsar.

For those of you who have recently circled me on Google+ may know, I've been on a sort of a black and white kick recently. This past weekend I spent some time digging through the archives looking for contenders. Here's one taken a few years back on my one and only trip to Yosemite.
From my archives, a tranquil fall evening scene. Rideau Canoe Club, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Guys I'm sorry for not being able to pixel-peep and comment lately, since it's a vacation after a real long time; I'm just enjoying and relaxing. Shall be back on your streams soon !
The Thought
Man is a social animal and needs company in order to exist - but the real test starts when this need becomes a trouble and one seeks solitude. Imperfection is a part of each human being, and no matter how hard one tries, they can't force themselves to like someone despite their negatives.
Breakups are a part of teenage and years to come after. As a person, one should be strong enough to accept the fact and let go off the memories as soon as possible - and Pray that their loneliness may spur them into finding something to live for, great enough to die for. Only then, can good be done to humanity, to the society, to the family one comes from - and to one's own self.
The sooner we realise it, the better it is for all -
The Shot:
Taken at the farewell to Nico meetup at Rawal lake, the child caught my attention while making an effort to take a nice looking Silhouette.
The thought is just a random thought and has nothing to do with this innocent child - he went on to play with his cousins moments after the shot was taken :-)
Just played a tad bit with the curves, rest SOOC (oops ! )

The Shot
A visit to the all popular Rawal lake with the junior guru Adnan Maskeen, in an attempt to learn composition. Might not have got a spot on composition here, but what matters more is the experience of being able to shoot with someone as wonderful as Adnan bhai !

The sun leans gently into the horizon, painting the dunes in liquid gold. A woman stands still, rooted like an ancient tree, yet light as wind. Her silhouette dances with the fading light, a quiet hymn to the setting day. The sand cradles her steps, tracing stories soon to be swept away by the whispers of the evening breeze.
In this fleeting moment, time dissolves. The mountains bow in the distance, and the sky hums softly, wrapping the earth in warmth. The delicate lace that adorns her moves like petals in the air – fragile, yet woven with strength. She stands not against nature, but with it, becoming a thread in the vast, eternal fabric of land and sky.
This is not merely sunset; it is a symphony of stillness. In the heart of Florianópolis, where the dunes stretch like ocean waves, the ordinary melts into the extraordinary. The dance of shadow and light leaves behind an unspoken truth – that beauty exists in the quiet, the pause, the breath between one step and the next.
***
O sol repousa suavemente no horizonte, pintando as dunas com ouro líquido. Uma mulher permanece imóvel, enraizada como uma árvore antiga, mas leve como o vento. Sua silhueta dança com a luz que se apaga, um hino silencioso ao dia que se despede. A areia acolhe seus passos, traçando histórias que logo serão apagadas pelos sussurros da brisa noturna.
Nesse instante fugaz, o tempo se dissolve. As montanhas se curvam à distância, e o céu canta baixo, envolvendo a terra em calor. A renda delicada que a veste se move como pétalas no ar – frágil, mas tecida com força. Ela não está contra a natureza, mas com ela, tornando-se um fio no vasto e eterno tecido entre terra e céu.
Este não é apenas um pôr do sol; é uma sinfonia de quietude. No coração de Florianópolis, onde as dunas se estendem como ondas do mar, o ordinário se dissolve no extraordinário. A dança de luz e sombra deixa uma verdade não dita – a beleza existe no silêncio, na pausa, na respiração entre um passo e o próximo.

The Thought
May started off as a beautiful month, but ended up on a completely opposite note.
From a great friend and a lovely person Nicolas Tariq leaving for France, to a khaloo's untimely death - May ended up leaving behind nothing but a gloomy and blue me.
Just thought to share a poem I found on:
www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1...
Blue Hour
A change inside a dream that die
whisper of a day to go
dreaming time of whispring hope
a world in chaos calls the name
Long ago in ancient times
a fight to death, a cruel man
past of sorrows never change
a future lies ahead unknown
A warrior died alone in time
angry, kind, couragous
wicced in the eyes of light
but drowns in behind blue eyes
Blue hour of the age of birth
for death is lost to life that comes
a soul escape to be reborn
evil, good, they both are wrong
To live it is to be a spirit
free in soul with no boundaries
to bind oneself is like to die
gray to drown but not a life
The Shot:
Thanks to Syed Xain and Adnan Maskeen for giving me useful tips on landscape photography, and compositions. Special thanks to Xaain for correcting this composition - and to Awais Yaqoob to introduce me to Lab Colors in Photoshop - This shot was taken at the farewell to Nicolas meetup at Rawal Lake.
