As the leaves fall...

As the leaves fall...
And the colors change...
Wind gets so cold to embrace me like a hot spring...
Everything else seems blurred...
Only a moment of emptiness...
Stare that does not belong to a place...
Only noise I hear are the brustling leaves...

My wait has been longer than her ride...
...she could ever imagine.

Diamonds Unpacked ) *** (

Nature's gift...come mostly unpacked :)

I bought a gift for a friend when I visited India, even though there was a very little chance of meeting. It was a beautiful work, comparable to this.

I really couldn't ignore a friend who thought I was full of something...

For those who are curious, its a shot that I took without viewing...two reasons - its tough to keep the neck unless I have a Giraffe's & the other one due to excess dew on grass. People who know technical aspects will know how tough it is to get this...

Where the three meet...

Illusions have fascinated me all the years...

in the form of magicians,

in the form of art,

in the form of nature...

Sometimes I see it and capture pictures intentionally...

Sometimes I observe them only after taking pictures...

Sometimes I see images in objects lying on the ground...just that I can't take those pictures...while I would not venture out specifically to capture these, there are some of my collections. I might post them later.

No Strings...ven flying!

Launching himself...Byresh wanted a frame in the air...and I thought it would be good to have a low angle shot. Had set the shutter & aperture settings manually to get the color mix...

I was also keen to get my favorite sky blue & cover da maple tree color. Waz glad when I saw this video next day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oh4nTdIB2Y , as it almost had that trace [my latest favorite song "siragugal vandathu" from movie SARVAM ]- Would love to be in such a place...sometimes it is hard to describe how you feel on seeing such visuals...but can only be felt.

Have had a liking for animation always, best way to get into my dream world of visuals...da video 4 some reason reminds me of Aladdin's land with the silhouttee effect, wit sun setting...!

Watchin the fall of leaves!

What can I say, the colors of leaves are changing rapidly, especially the Maple leaves...these are the most wonderful colors a painter would love to have after a hard day of mixing colors together. And guess what, everyday I walk to and fro from the office I see nature's hand playing around in getting the best colors that one cannot even imagine sometimes. It is starting to get very cold and it would not be long before nature throws those white flowers on the steet of Vancouver. In India I would have to travel to the extreme north to feel it. But here in "The Rainy City" I juz have to walk out of my apartment. Eagerly waiting for that even though transit is something that would be a challenge especially during those period.
