I visited Alwar, a small town in Rajasthan, India in January. I saw these arches on my way to Siliserh Lake. There is no indication anywhere what they were but they sure look beautiful! A little ahead there are more such arches and they look like a bridge but they certainly don’t seem to be…

Sky Watch Friday- Sunset at Noida
I love it when I can catch a colorful sunset right in the middle of the city. This was clicked from my sister’s home at Noida. Of course I am presenting the scene quite selectively here, I have not included the construction cranes and other such trappings of civilization. The birds just crossed the frame…
White Clouds at Palampur
This was the day sky at Palampur. The view was beautiful as we were walking back from the Deer Park at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. I was of the view that Palampur itself has such rich vegetation, do we really need a Deer Park? The local friend who took me there was of the view…
Sunset Colors from Palampur
This was on my last day at Palampur. I had come back from Sobha Singh’s Art Gallery at Andretta. Andretta is really in middle of nowhere! The day was cloudy otherwise the views would have been beautiful. Whatever I saw was even through mist was grand. I got back just in time to pack and…
Twilight at Chennai
It has been a very busy week. In between my blog was also acting up. Thankfully it is now back to its normal good behavior. For today’s sky watch I present a picture I clicked at twilight at Chennai. We were walking back from Marina Beach in Chennai when I clicked this picture handheld. I…
Clouds at Sunrise, Palampur, India
This happened on a very cold day at dawn. I should have logically been fast asleep. I did not put any alarm to get up at sunrise. I also watched a lot of movies on TV the night before! And yet my eyes opened on its own and the view from the window at Palampur…
The Desert Sky
Today’s sky watch was clicked at Lakshman Sagar again. Sometimes I get lucky at a place and get many good sky hots. Lakshman Sagar in Pali Rajasthan was one such place!
Sunset at Lakshman Sagar, Pali, Rajasthan
When I recently visited Lakshman Sagar I was in love with this pink restaurant. Every evening I would go to the top of the restaurant and have my tea there at sunset. I would stay there till dusk turned to dark and only then get down reluctantly. For more sky pictures please visit the Sky…
Glorious Sunrise at Lakshman Sagar, Rajasthan, India
When I post for sky watch most of pictures are either clouds or sunsets. I am not a morning person. But since I learned (and it was a long time ago) that the morning light can do wonders for your photographs I have been making an effort! I was told that the sunrise was at…
Sun Plays Peak-a-boo Behind the Clouds, Lakshman Sagar, Rajasthan
I visited Lakshman Sagar in Pali, Rajasthan recently. The place used to be a hunting lodge and it has now been converted into a hotel. They have 12 rooms in a vast open space! There are two restaurants which earlier used to be the janana (room for ladies) and mardana (room for men). However what…
