The Sacred OM in the Sky.

                      The day was warm and Bright with Sunlight. I thought it the right time to take some Pictures as the Sky was clear with odd appearances of the Clouds. After this picture was taken and i downloaded it into the Sony Vaio Laptop, I was surprised at the way the picture had turned out. Initially i had an impression that it was just another cloud being dragged with the wind. But the wind speed was normal during the day. I was thrilled to notice the Sacred Symbol of Hindus, the "OM" formed by the clouds.

A Crow finds a Peaceful place.

        We all know that how one yearns and waits for the season of Mangoes, the  king of Fruits.The photographs below were taken when i was standing near my neighbors house and talking to him.

                    

                     The first thought i had after i saw this, "Is the entire City, Area and The Streets Polluted?".The answer should be definitely a YES and no prizes for guessing the answer. After seeing the Crow which happened to be desperate to find a place so peaceful so that it can have a taste of its catch. the Prized Mango Fruit.

                       It's become more and more difficult nowadays to take a good breath with the amount of Pollution. At least the Crow is Lucky and Happy to find the Gates of my neighbors house to sit on and finish his Royal Fruit.

Laser Show or Clouds show.

               

              It was a warm evening and the Sun was just about to set. The sky was filled with the radiant Sun's Rays and the clouds were as magnificent as ever. I noticed some kind of Lines breaking through the clouds. Immediately i took my camera and shot these pictures.

            This is the picture i liked most for the evening shoot.When it was captured, i never realized that it would turn out like this. Once i loaded it to my laptop, i was surprised at the way the Sun and Clouds have joined together to give such a marvel. It looks like there is a beautiful natural Light show in the Sky. 

An Animal or Cloud.

It was late in the evening and i was ready with my camera as usual to take some pictures of Clouds with Sunset in the backdrop. I am really amazed and at the same time surprised at this Photo. The clouds have taken the form of a Leaping Animal.

A section of cloud had formed the shape of an Animal and the same has been photographed and published here. The Face with mouth open, Front and Back legs and even the tail of the Animal is clearly visible. The only thing i am not able to determine is " Which Animal is this?". Hope   You, the readers will tell me what this is.

Law of Attraction.

Is attraction limited to only Human beings, Animals etc. Well, you will be thinking again once seeing these pictures. It was as usual late in the noon around 2:30 and i was just relaxing on the balcony of my house when i got to take these pictures which shows that even CLOUDS do attract each other.

In this particular photo, one can observe the Aura of the 2 Clouds close to each other. There were some white lines or rays joining these 2 photos as visible.I thought it should make a good photo added to my collection. I have always been fascinated by the Sky,Clouds and their movements.

This was the photo i like that day the most. In fact in the picture taken, there is a whirlpool of clouds clearly visible and it is pulling the nearby adjacent clouds towards it. We say that we have moved very far in understanding science. What about the most important creation? The Nature. Are we even close to understanding the nature Yet?After seeing that day, i started to believe that the Laws of Attraction cannot not be limited to one particular thing.

Solar Eclipse in Jan 2010

                   The day is Jan 15th 2010. People all over the world were eagerly anticipating the Day as the Years Solar Eclipse was about to occur.In India, This particular Solar Eclipse was considered to be very auspicious by some and inauspicious by many. I was lucky to get some photos of the Eclipse.Here is the photo taken in the beginning.

                     As the Eclipse started slowly there were some amazing formations in the clouds due to the Sun Rays falling on them with each passing minute. In this particular image, one can closely see the number 3 (2 3's embedded one in another).

 

 I enjoyed each passing minute of the eclipse as i was thrilled to watch the changing of forms of clouds. Then arrived the moment i was waiting for.In the Image below, one can see the Sun Partially covered by the Eclipse.I have captured this photograph with the help of my Binoculars.

Helping One Another

 

The entire Highway was blocked by Landslide. We started to call passengers from other vehicles to mutually help each other in clearing the big boulders and trees from the path.

 The debris and sludge that occurred due to landslide  filled the road upto 20 feet high. some 50 to 60 passengers volunteered to manually level the road so that vehicles can pass.

Beware of Landslides during Monsoon

After a Good Pilgrimage, we were at the last leg of the tour when suddenly we were greeted by nature's Fury. 

We were hardly 20 miles to reach Hrishikesh and we experiencedheavy rains that lasted for 15 - 20 minutes.The Driver slowed down the vehicle as he spotted a vehicle coming from Hrishikesh that belonged to his friend. They spoke for a couple of minutes and we started journey again.

A Couple of miles later, there was a long row of vehicles parked one behind the other. On enquiry we came to know that a Landslide had occurred due to heavy rains and it was not possible to continue the journey unless the way is cleared of Boulders, Trees and Debris.
