Weekend 71: Routine travel shots 2!

Traveling: it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller ~ Ibn Battuta

Yesterday I had to travel again. Yes it was my routine travel route.  Taking flight was no option as chances of flight cancellation were higher than landslide problems.

On my way there were places with very poor visibilty. The probability of a good photo shot was even less. Still I tried until it was really too dark. Here I am sharing some images. Hope you like them.

The images are mostly monochrome and even the availabe light changed the background colour from grey to blue.

Most of the times I don’t feel bored while travelling as the surroundings, and my fellow passengers happily share the responsibilty.

Who likes travelling?

One fine autumn day!

This winter is not really winter.  It is extended version of November, dull – wet – grey and cold. To cheer my mood, I open my autumn window!

Weekend 70: Travelling

Autumn is history.

& the colours are mystery.

Winter is on hold.

But the weather is cold.

I love a balmy breeze,

which will not freeze

the warmth of my spirit.

It’s time to travel.

I shall soon be on vacation without internet connection.

Wishing you all season’s greetings!!!

 

 

Robin the redbreast!

A quick shot and the robin was gone. I am happy to capture this beautiful little birdie. Here is some interesting information about our little friend Mr. Robin the redbreast.

Weekend 69: Fireworks photography!

Today was the traditional annual opening of the Christmas season in Bergen, where families are invited to light torches and enjoy a magnificent display of fireworks.

Happy Weekend friends!

Happy little moments!

Many Indians celebrated Diwali this last week. For me it was quite opposite as I was on roller coaster ride at work. There was no time to think about family or cultural matters and yes I am thankful for a supportive family. Now it feels like the week passed super quickly.

It’s our tradition to decorate house for Diwali and make rangoli (beautiful patterns with coloured sand or rice flour). On the day of Diwali, nature greeted me in a very special way and unknowingly I captured those moments. I am sharing rangoli created by nature to say “happy Diwali” to me naah to US!

The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called following your bliss ~ Joseph Campbell

I am happy to share these moments with you. Find such moments and stay happy.

Cheers!

Weekend 67

I was away from blog for couple of days due to so much happening around me, all related to my work.  Yesterday I was in boat for almost 4:30 hours but didn’t take a single photo. I was so tired that I slept during the first half. Later it was all dark.

This photo is taken today while returing from shopping.

Have a relaxing weekend dear friends!

Indian bloggers who celebrate Diwali must be busy in planning! Enjoy festive mood!

Weekend 66: Usual hiking tour

After two weeks of gray weather we got sunny weather for the weekend though the temperature has dropped down significantly. Sun is what we needed and hence we decided to take a walk along the popular hike route.

Since it was supposed to be a family tour, I deliberately left my camera home but don’t you worry as I had my mobile (samsung) with me :D.

Autumn shows us how beautiful is it to let things go ~Unknown.

Becca’s Sunday Trees inspires me to look for trees in various seasons, sizes and shapes.

The blue sky, the warm sun, the crisp breeze and autumn colours all were so inviting that we thoroughly enjoyed our walk. We covered around 12 km distance with maximum attended height of 450m.

Up and up…

The temperature was about +5C but it didn’t affect the spirit of locals and if you believe me it was all crowded up on the mountains.

And all at once, summer collapsed into fall ~Oscar Wilde

The majority of leaves are long gone but still we spotted colours here and other. For Dawn’s Festival of leaves.

I would love to link my beautiful autumn hike to Jo’s Monday walk but since Jo has asked us not to send her links, I will just tag the post to  #Jo’s Monday walk.

Hope you enjoy the images.

 

Weekend 65: A walk in nature

To stop myself from overthinking

Wrong things happened in the past.

Wrong things happen somewhere right now.

Wrong things will happen in the future.

Not all in my control.

I control my behaviour.

Not others.

I want peace for others.

I am responsible for peace with myself.

I learn to pacify my mind.

I walk in nature.

Thursday was recorded as the warmest day in October til date. October was never so warm before. I am presenting  vibrant autumn colours captured on Thursday despite a super windy day. The time I spent in nature helped me to calm my agitation.

Have you ever tried capturing leaves or flowers when it is windy? Then you understand my efforts.

For Dawn’s Festival of  leaves: week -3
