Lake Michigan
The Grand Haven Breakwater lighthouse is located in the harbor of Grand Haven, Michigan.
Grand Haven Lighthouses are two different lighthouses on the south pier of the channel where Grand River comes in to Lake Michigan. A lighthouse was first established there in 1839.[1] Both lighthouses were put up for sale in 2009 under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act.[2]

Fifteen cenotaphs to the Bundela kings and members of their clan are located on the southern bank of river Betwa. These include the Chhatries of Madhukar shah, Vir Singh Deo, Jaswant Singh, Udait singh, Pahar Singh & Others. Most of the cenotaphs are designed in Panchaytan style. They are constructed on an elevated square platform. The Sanctum sanctorum too is square shaped and in the cneter the upper portion has been made angular with arches. The peak of the sanctum, sanctorum is patterned in the Nagar style of temple architecture.
-----Prologue-----
“Seems like you have taken up the best spot already!”, I said in half jest to the photographer right next to me while setting up my gear for the above shot of Zion’s Virgin and the Watchman.
“You got that damn right!”, She said with that unmistakable British accent with no audible trace of jest in her response.
-----Act 1-----
To tuck in the Virgin river’s bend into the frame without backing off on millimeters and the Watchman’s proportion in the shot, I had to move my tripod by about four inches to the right. Problem was, firmly planted on the concrete one inch away was the stern British lady’s equally stern tripod leg.
“Would it be OK if I put my tripod right next to yours?” I asked as gently as I could.
“Yeah fine. Don’t trip mine over”, the flinty voice yielded.
-----Act 2------
While waiting for the sun to obey my wish and light up the Watchman precisely as above, I killed time by serving as an iphone-photographer for a group of three giggling Alaskan college girls (who never paid me my paltry fees of $5, do you believe it?), stretching my muscles in all sorts of shapeless contortions, waving at aghast drivers driving past the hoard of us photographers at 5mph, and talking again to my austere British neighbor.
“Are you from around here? Are you a techie in the Silicon Valley?” She asked me. When I told her what I do for a living, she broke out into a laughter and apologized profusely for stereotyping. From there on, our conversation took on a more manageable course. I learned her name was Mickey. Mickey is not on Flickr but she and her incredibly handsome and devoted husband were traveling the US with one sole purpose: landscape photography.
-----Act 3-----
“Why do we do this?” Mickey asked hinting at all the pain undertaken by landscape photographers (or, faux landscapers, like, yours truly).
“I don’t know why Mickey. I guess, we like chasing the light and stopping time.” The nerd in me was having a field day.
“Tell you what, I do it because it keeps me going. I have lost my son to cancer but all this running around with the camera keeps my sixty-year-old mind and body going. You know?” I noticed a hint of moisture in her eyes reflecting the orange glow of the west earnestly.
“Tell you what Mickey,” I said, looking straight at the unexpectedly revealed segment of her core, “you are damn right! To keep going... That is exactly why I do it too!”
-----Epilogue-----
Mickey, if you are reading this, then here is one more reason why I do it: To meet people like yourself on the trail who somehow have that magical ability to touch others in the span of a moment. Thanks for loaning me a pint of your life-blood to keep my soul flickering.
You will often read about the importance of planning for photography and rightly so as it can make a massive difference to the images you produce. Every now and then it also pays to do the opposite and go out without any preconceptions or care of what images you might come back with or if you come back with any at all, and just go to enjoy the photography. On this occasion, after my first week back in work for what seemed like ages, if I had not gone out I would have probably fallen asleep in the chair, so planning was not an option. Same bridges, same boat wrecks but quite a different feel at high tide. The calm conditions perfect for reflecting what was a pretty nice sky.
Dal Lake is a lake in Srinagar, the summer capital of the northernmost Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The urban lake is nicknamed the "Jewel in the crown of Kashmir". This wooden boat is called "shikara" and only seen in this region of India. Like the Venetian gondolas, this "shikira" is a cultural symbol of Kashmir.

I chose this title because on this evening, I almost missed a gorgeous sunset all because I was impatient and didn't want to wait in the cold. The sun had just about set, and the sky was still a dull blue with a little tinge of yellow. I took some photos of the sky opposite the sunset, as it had turned a light pink. After I was done, I turned around and noticed the colours in the sky were becoming more vivid and dramatic...Thankfully I had stayed long enough to see such a beautiful sunset. It serves as a little lesson for me to be more patient, because good things come to those who wait :).
More reflections of the Mersey Gateway bridge in Runcorn Cheshire. Nice to get some clouds in the sky for a change, it makes a big difference when compared to mono coloured skies, though the colour did not really catch on this occasion.

A glorious sunset on the last day of another week on my favourite island. Taken from the top of the large dunes at Luskentyre, overlooking the Sound of Taransay, with Ceapabhal (Toe Head) on the left, Taransay on the right and the expansive white sands of Tràigh Rosamol. A tremendous way to say ‘farewell until the next time’!
A striking glass skyscraper catching the last light of the evening sky. The sharp lines, shimmering reflections, and glowing sculpture in the foreground create a perfect blend of modern architecture and urban atmosphere.
Last night's spectacular sunset as reflected in the hood of my car. No special effects just a bump in color.

Lesson Learned: look for the extraordinary in unexpected places.

Sunset Reflections in Morong, Bataan – Family by the Sea
It was 5:43 pm on the Morong beach in Bataan, and we were already hanging out with my wife, our little girl, and a friend who’d been with us for the night. We’d brought our daughter out because we thought the fresh sea air, the soft sand, and the gentle waves might help her feel better after being sick. The sky was turning warm orange‑pink as the sun dipped, and the wet sand reflected that glow all around. The air was just right, the water warm enough for a quick dip, and we just relaxed, laughed a bit, and let the waves wash away the stress. It was a nice sunset that we shared with everyone there, and our little girl already seemed a little brighter.
Blue hour is one of my favourite times of the day to photograph. Without the harshness of the sun above the horizon the details in the clouds really come to the fore. Throw in some still water reflections and a bit of foreground interest and all the ingredients are there for a creative image. This is the Mersey Gateway Bridge spanning the River Mersey in Runcorn (or Widnes if you are from the darkside). The tips of the remains of the Mersey Flat wreck of the Beadale poke through the high tide river mersey.
A mesmerizing sunset captured at Koggala Beach, Sri Lanka, where the golden light of dusk paints the sky and sea in warm, glowing hues. The gentle waves shimmer under the fading sun, creating a serene and timeless coastal scene. This peaceful moment reflects the pure beauty of nature and the soothing charm of Sri Lanka’s southern shores.
