Time really do pass one by so quickly...
One has to live it while one can!
I'm guilty of not doing that!
Just wanted to upload a simple shot today...
Used very little texture...
Hope you're all having a nice and sunny day! If not... I can't do anything about it :)

Nanda Devi temple is located at a distance of 3 to 4 Kms from Munsiary town and is connected by road where one can go to see this beautiful Temple and also to get the best view of Panchchachuli peaks. In a clear sky the view is spectacular. From here the views of all the five peaks are clearly separated from each other. Nanda Devi temple is located at the center surrounded by green meadow and tall trees. This is an excellent location for nature lovers. There are viewpoints available in different direction to enjoy the spectacular view of snow capped peaks and surrounding valleys.

Origin and background of the cult/deity :
Parvati (Shail Putri), the daughter of Hills and the consort of Lord Shiva, is known as Nanda in Garhwal & Kumaon areas. The popularity of the Goddess is understandable, as the highest peak of the district has been identified with the name of the deity, also several Nanda temples are situated at all the prominent places in Garhwal and Kumaon like Nauti, Chandpur,Kurur, Devrada, Kulsari, Nandkesri, Lohajang, Shila Samudra, Nandakot Vaidini, Srinagar, Sink, Devikhet, Nandprayag, Gopeshwar, Helang, Lata Niti and Badrinath. Similarly the Kumaon region include Nanda Devi temples located at Nainital, Almora, Baijnath, Shuwbhgash, Munsiyari, Doonagiri, Jageshwar, Bageshwar and Ranikhet.
The genesis of Nanda Devi is not very clear. Folk lyrics suggest that Nanda was a princess of the Chanda dynasty of Almora.
Some people associate the Goddess with YogMaya, the daughter of Nanda, who replaced the eighth issue of Vasudev (father of Krishna) and who escaped from the hands of her assailant, Kansa and forewarned him of his impending death at the hands of Lord Krishna. There is no mention of Nanda in the Puranas or other scriptures. However, certain later inscriptions mention a Goddess with names similar to Nanda. The Goddess finds mention in Sanskrit literature. Some very old statues found in Mathura show one Goddess as Eknansha. Accordingly, some people believe that the same Goddess was subsequently regarded as Nanda.
Naini (of Nainital) and Naina (of Himachal Pradesh) also appear to be variants of the same Goddess. There are ancient temples of the Goddess at about twenty places all over Garhwal. Similar temples are found in Almora region also.

Been away for a break up to Loch Sween near Lochgilphead in Western Scotland with the kids and this shot sort of sums it up.
We had some great new places to explore and some decent breaks between the showers.
Found some fabulous locations and places I need to revisit in photography mode..
OK, so let's listen to one of my most favourite songs: DESERT ROSE.
Open a new window, and enjoy this Sting song my Flickr Friends!!!

Numerous images to sort through, but this one gets my vote for the 365. I know its not sharp enough, but it makes me giggle.

The 26m dish at Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory.
When I took this photograph, the Radio Telescope was observing a MASER (an acronym for: Microwave Amplification by Stimulation Emission of Radiation).
Why do we use Radio Telescopes?
The human eye can only see about one ten trillionth of the Electromagnetic Magnetic Spectrum of light (between 400-700nm, with diminished sensitivity at both ends). Radio Telescopes can detect a much wider range of Electromagnetic Radiation including Radio waves, Microwaves, Terahertz waves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays).
A big thank you to Heystek Grobler from HartRAO for showing me around.
