As I sit here

And slowly close my eyes

I take another deep breath

And feel the wind pass through my body

 

I need serenity

In a place where I can hide

I need serenity

Nothing changes, days go by

 

Where do we go when we just don't know

And how do we relight the flame when it's cold?

Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing

And when will we learn to control?

 

I'm the one who loves you

No matter wrong or right

And every day I hold you

I hold you with my inner child.

Today we drove up to Lavasa, a 56 km drive from our house. We = Amit and I in the trusty Blackhawk.

 

This is one of the last shots of the day, taken while walking along the Daswe Dam (and bridge! :D). The light was fading and the clouds getting more dramatic by the second. While Amit was busy shooting with his Sigma 10mm ultrawide, I thought I'd use my humble 18-250 to get me an ultrawide shot too. :)

 

The dual color in the shot was not processed - the water was properly dual-toned thanks to the cloudy skies!

 

Many more shots coming up from the drive!

 

EXPLORED! Thanks!
