As I’ve been busy in lab I didn’t get time to go out and shoot. So here is something from the past. This was taken in Bruges, Belgium. It is not a very good picture as the highlights are blown and the framing is not perfect. But what I like about this picture is the period mood sepia brings to it.

The last of the series of photos from my garden and balcony, for now. I just can’t get enough of the rich colors of the leaves!

Another shot from yesterday, this time from my garden (actually more like shrub-land!).

A creeper had invaded the balcony of my house and was in the process of overrunning it. So today I finally shook off my lazyness and cleared it off the balcony proper. But the intense autumn colors of the leaves caught my eye and so here they are.

Taken in Bruges, Belgium. Like the unity in numbers here and the endearlingly familiar actions of the two children.

That is the elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesha, son of goddess Parvati. There is an interesting story behind why he got the elephant head but it is too long to narrate here. He is quite popular as he is supposed to bring good luck and help one to overcome obstacles in life. Oh, and he is also believed to have taken down the dictation of the epic Mahabharata non-stop!

Another one from Brussels, in a church near the Royal Museum whose name I’ve now forgotten. This was me trying to shamelessly imitate a photo which was taken in similar style and was present in the church’s brochure. I shall leave you to pass judgement!

Something that seems to be not from this world. Another sculpture from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels.

The first photo to be posted from my new Minolta Dynax 5D! Am in love with this camera.

That, if I remember correctly, is Bonn’s huge theater/arts complex. Wish the frame had not been cut off at the top.
