a collection of ramblings
Some lovely branches against the sky from the Pyrenees caught my eye. Their curling intricacies fascinated me, especially when the sun shone through - and so I photographed it. On another note, posting will be sporadic to totally absent over the next ten days due to the fact I'm travelling and will likely have no… Continue reading From the Lake to the Trees
Over the past week, I've had the chance to experience something out of my reach for the past four-odd years. It was not seeing a rare bird (unfortunately). Neither was it a sighting of a tiger (extremely unfortunately). It was, ladies and gentlemen... winter, and, accompanied with it, snow. The snow itself was brief, and… Continue reading Branches

Upon later review, I found that the Milky Way itself had made an appearance directly above… Continue reading House, Tree, Stars

This is probably testament to my experience in photography, which… Continue reading The Old Banyan Tree
