I’m back again! I spent a fabulous Easter weekend in beautiful Vienna. So you will be seeing those photos for the next one week or so. Here is the first one, it is the parliament building in all it’s nightly glory.

An interview with one of the few prominent Americans with, what I’d like to call as, a global conscience. The interview seems to end abruptly but it is still very interesting. In this age of corporatised media and selective reporting it is necessary that we have people like Noam Chomsky questioning the established view and offering a different, perhaps more realistic take on current affairs. You can read the interview here.

Another one from the archives. I didn’t post this before as I wasn’t sure about it. Obvious criticisms would be that the composition is too centric, the perspective isn’t right and perhaps I should have framed it a bit differently, including the whole body of the climber for example. But having said that I like the way it looks in monochrome and the contrast. So here it is. Feel free to voice your criticism through email.

Something from my archives as I don’t have anything new to put up. This is the Dom again, a few photos of which I have posted earlier.

Another one from my garden.

One of the few night shots here. Shots like this make me wonder why I do not try more night shots!

Another one from my scraggly little garden.

Time crying
In golden streams

Lifting spirits
Bending wills

I pause
With answers

“The line is straight”

Time laughing
Like wind chimes

Breaking bonds
Burning bridges

I run
With fear

“The line is a circle”

Time thinking
Like old trees

Forming connections
Erasing emotions

I look
In awe

“The line is a loop”

Time absorbing
Like a black hole

Painting pictures
Fading sounds

I weep
With sadness

“The line is an ellipse”

Time leaking
Like broken umbrellas

Filling outlines
Masking details

I cry
With pain

“The line is a full stop”

I got this yesterday. We have been getting beautiful skies here over the past few days but yesterdays’s was the best. Unfortunately, by the time I reached home and set up the camera in my friend’s balcony I missed the best part and only managed to get this.

I did not expect the scraggly and overgrown garden in front of my house to have anything worth photographing. But I was pleasantly surprised when on Sunday I tried out my newly acquired tripod in it. There were quite a lot of very small but beautiful flowers worth photographing. This is one of them. But for the very strong wind which made it next to impossible to do macro work I’d have got many more. I’m not very happy with this but didn’t get time to process any of the other ‘better’ photos so am putting this one up instead.
