day eight


Walking on the water: courtesy the worldwide cold wave that is gripping winter '09-10.

Canadian geese are a lot like snow. They come in the winter (if you stay south of the border, that is :D ). The first sight of both is a thing of beauty. Too much, (and it happens in some time) and they become pests ...

seven



It's seven months today since i came here . A lot has changed. A lot remains the same.
I have learnt the basics of the all the three things I promised myself to learn.
The sky still remains an awesome shade of blue.
:)

As per Rocky, Seven is the most natural number in the world . As per Rowling, Seven is the most powerfully magical number. As per me, July is the month I was born in

paanch

Water frozen in its tracks - topped off with snow;
or,
A skeleton hand guarding over the fossils.

Either way, I think - can be a nice texture layer to experiment with ..

Whenever I see something resembling an open palm, I am reminded of this eternal favourite from DD: (the image in my mind is from the video at 4:42)

four: soar

I read the book Jonathan Livingstone Seagull during my first year of college; I think that's the best Bach I have read.

and D, this time I am not confusing Bach with Beethoven :D. Really, all that I was doing then was thinking about the opening lines from a movie:

What can you say about a 25-year-old girl who died?
That she was beautiful and brilliant?
That she loved Mozart and Bach?
The Beatles?
And me?


This place: spring lake park; south plainfield.

two

A twosome for the second day of Jan :)

Trying to write up an "impression" for this picture - i came up with this:
The sign implores me to stop time and freeze the beautiful moment.

Yes, pun intended :)

new year = time to revisit old resolutions ..
This place: clock tower @ liberty bell, Philadelphia. Arrived in time to hear the bell ring in 11 am.

The liberty bell was the subject of a famous april fool's day hoax ad by Taco Bell: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/Hoaxipedia/Taco_Liberty_Bell/
