is the underestimation of content more than double the overestimation of our wildest dreams?
getting an image explored used to be my main adjudicator of a successful photo. i also became obsessed with the individual stats of the photo, and seemed to get hung up on all statistical trimmings. but i've since realised the concept and the way a photo makes us feel is so much more important than what flickr decides is good by exploring it. photography, like art is subjective, so if no one else likes it, even better.
Small Barges parked at River Ganges - Calcutta, India.

History :
In its upper reaches the river is generally known as the Bhāgirathi, until it reaches Hooghly. The word Bhāgirathi literally means "caused by Bhagiratha", a mythical Sagar Dynasty prince who was instrumental in bringing the river Ganges from the heavens on to the earth, in order to release his 60,000 grand-uncles from a curse of the saint Kapila.
The river was an important transportation channel in the early history of Bengal, and later with the colonial trading ports. The river's presence is one of the reasons chosen by the British to settle there at Calcutta. The Dutch/French colony at Chandannagar on the Hooghly was once the rival of British Calcutta, but was eclipsed by Calcutta in the colonial wars of the 18th century. The river banks hosted several battles and skirmishes towards the start of the colonial era, including the Battle of Plassey Palashi, as well as earlier wars against Maratha raiders. On eastern bank lie many historic and wealthy towns like Murshidabad, Jangipur and Ziaganj.
In 1974, the Farakka Barrage began diverting water into the Hooghly during the dry season so as to reduce the silting difficulties at Kolkata's port.
Like the rest of the Ganges, the Bhāgirathi-Hooghly is considered sacred to Hindus, and its water is considered holy.
The Bhāgirathi-Hooghly river system is an essential lifeline for the people of West Bengal. It is through this river that the East India Company sailed in to Bengal and established their trade settlement - Calcutta, which later grew up to be one of the greatest cities of the world and capital of the erstwhile British India. People from other countries like French, Dutch, Portuguese, etc. all had their trade settlement by the banks of this river.
The river provides perennial supply of water to the plain of West Bengal for irrigation and human & industry consumption. The river is navigable and the major transport system in the region with a huge traffic flow. For a long time, the Calcutta Port was the biggest port of India. Though in the past its significance had gone down, but recently it had again come up to the 3rd position in the list of Indian Ports. The fish from the river are important to the local economy.
The modern container port of Haldia, on the intersection of lower Hooghly and Haldi River, now carries much of the region's maritime trade. One new port will be built in the deep sea to reduce load on Calcutta port.
Hooghly river valley was the most important industrial area of erstwhile state of Bengal. Due to declining jute industry, the prime industry of this region, it lost its glory and partitioning of Bengal. But still it is one of the biggest industrial areas of India. Except Kolkata and Howrah it has number of small cities which forms the Greater Kolkata Agglomeration, the second biggest Indian city and former capital.
Several bridges run over the Hooghly at Kolkata – Howrah Bridge, Vidyasagar Setu, Vivekananda Setu, Nivedita Setu (second Vivekananda Bridge), Jubilee Bridge(chinsurah) and Iswar Gupta Setu(chinsurah).

my highest yet. thank youuu =]
this is one of my christmas tree ornaments. we decorated the tree today.
ornaments are a big tradition in my family.
ever since i was born ive gotten one every year, and so has my sister, and the rest of my family.
we both have our themes, mine is disney, and hers is the barbie collectors. the year i got spopngebob i didn't go with my theme. the idea behind it is that when we move out on our own we'll already have a lot of ornaments for our own tree. i have a picture of my ornaments in the comments. the nemo one in front is this years. each ornament tells a story, about what i liked that year.
for instance, i got this ornament my freshmen year. also my first year in the high school marching band were i met this boy who made me watch the nightmare before christmas and i fell in love with the movie. it just so happened that that year hallmark had this ornament. i just had to have it.
every year, we take them out of the boxes, and put them in order by year. also because our ornaments arent all kinda the same or follow any pattern, our tree always looks kinda funky. which i love!
its probably my favorite part of christmas.
this picture was taken with one of my film camera lenses wich is why i got good bokeh.
it was so hard to use it when i can't put it on my camera.
i can't wait to get my 50mm for christmas!
