The birth of a new day, Bereft of agony, filled with joy, Filled with hope…

Sometime, towards the end of 2014, there was an opportunity to travel to Sikkim in the north east of India. Sikkim is a state sharing it borders with Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. Statistics apart, this state is probably the next best place to paradise. I remember, we reached Gangtok from Majithar, towards the latter part of the day . In winter, as the days are shorter and nights longer, nothing much was visible from the window of my room that evening. However, next morning as I was woken up by the sunlight streaming into the room, this very image was in front of me. The great Mt.Kanchenjungha , was right out my window. As if I could touch it with my own hands, here stood this majestic mountain, bathed in the morning sun. I couldn't have asked for more. Mother Nature, had given me the best gift, on my very first morning in Gangtok.

When this picture was shared with me, the title almost popped out instantaneously.For me , this picture can be split into two halves, one , the rays of the setting sun and the other, the chaotic traffic of the city.But if we can switch off from the lower part of the picture, there is a degree of serenity to this image. One that brings a smile onto your face .There is a degree of awe too, at the magic of mother nature.But in today's world, do we have the time to stop for a moment and watch....Alas!!...we are only running like machines....

I think it is every artists delight, to get such vibrant shades on canvas.This image, captured on a mobile camera of the evening sky, shows us the magic of Mother nature, at its best.The trees on the foreground, have given a depth to the sky in the background thus making the image so lively. This kind of gifts of Mother nature, do not happen every day and thus making this image all the more special to me.

This picture was taken sometime in the month of February, 2020. Taken in the evening against a setting sun, what caught my eye, was the intricate geometry of the branches, which are otherwise not visible, when covered with leaves. Normally, we tend to just walk past such trees, but this being right next to my house, probably caught my attention.

In this generic blog, I share my interest in photography, with all enthusiasts from all over the world.Some of the pictures here are also collections from various family sources, over a period of time. The rest, are my experiments. I hope you enjoy the same and we can connect further, with our common interests, wherever you may be. Cheers!!
