Fall begins!
I have drove by here numerous times and always wanted to stop and shoot this scene.
Finally had the time and there was a bonus, hay was in the field. Sky was nice too!

Another one from the Golden Triangle trip. This time its the Gullfoss waterfall.
Forgot the tripod at in the car, couldn´t take a long exposure so a hand held shot had to do this time.
Nikkor 16-35mm @ 32mm; f/8; ISO 400; HDR 9 exposures x 5 vertical frames panorama. Notice the pink colour of the facade lights for the Petronas Twin Towers, commemorating the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.

Description: View of the center of Kuala Lumpur city during a gloomy blue hour. I have always visioned this image and alhamdulillah it was given the opportunity by a very good friend. However due to the anxiousness, I left my filter bag in the car and had to shoot without any added filter.

City Palace, Jaipur, India.
Jaipur, the land of Rajahs, Rajputs, and the capital of a relatively new kingdom, is a colorful city that has been under siege many times throughout its history and took on some of the most brutal attacks. This included invasions from the Pathans, the Mughals, the Marathas and even the British and the French. Ironically, a relative peace was brought to this war-torn city via a rare treaty in which it would function as a Princely State during the British Raj. The then Rajah opened his arms to the British by saying, “Having learnt a good deal about the uprightness and amiable qualities of the Governor-General and other English men, I am anxious to open friendly relations with them.” The Rajahs remained loyal to the British, so much so that when the Prince of Wales and Queen Victoria visited Jaipur in 1876 on a tour, the entire city was painted pink. Even today, the city is characteristically pink and is called the Pink City. The affluence of this small Princely State is hinted at by the presence of two huge sterling silver water vessels used by the Rajah to carry holy Ganges River water from Banaras when he traveled to England. The sufferings of the Rajputs, however, due to the affluence of a few, the number of wars and invasions, as well as the droughts and famine they have lived through are largely forgotten by history. Instead, now they are known for their bravery, colorful photogenic turbans, and best of all their folksy desert music.
Today Jaipur, as a part of the golden triangle, is a most important tourist destination in India and is the gateway to one of the most photogenic states in India – Rajasthan.

about to take off
~~ Bharatpur sanctuary is home to several migratory birds including many species of sarus cranes, pelicans, geese, grey heron, ducks, eagles, brown long eared bat, hawks, shanks, stints, garganey teal, wagtails, warblers, wheatears, flycatchers, buntings, larks, pipits and others. The last time the sanctuary played a perfect host for the migratory birds was in 2008, which was following a good rain. In 2009, the water crisis took its toll on the sanctuary with both the monsoonal breeding birds and the migratory birds giving it a complete skip. When the level of water in the water-bodies of the sanctuary is quite low, only small birds opt to come down to the sanctuary. Large birds like pelican, crane and others are not sighted.

The old Pennsylvania Station building has been renovated and turned into condominiums; the rotunda provides a most interesting entrance.
