Gradient

The light yellow of the sun-to-set........ to the darkening blue of the arriving night........ A continuum of several shades in between (I know some physicists+mathematicians will be against this statement). A signal for the shift of paradigm from critters of the day to the critters of the night.....

Blue

Back in the previous winter..... when the sky was at its bluest self.... the air still chill inspite of the sun up high..... and life relatively carefree inspite of some turmoils....... The dull grey of the building standing against the deepest nice shade of blue......

wings

Above the clouds..... above the sun at the horizon...... The wings take me high, leaving the sun behind..... Yet, the sun about to be subdued by darkness catches every wandering eye.....


This pic was taken on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand to Kobe, Japan. I did take pics of the sunset without the wings. But, the one with the wings caught my imagination better.

In the description, i have referred to 'the sun' as a metaphor to Physics, which was my first love.... And 'the wings' is similarly Neuroscience, which is now my affair (and also the reason i got an opportunity to go to Kobe in the first place). The rest of the meaning is simple to get from this background.

Template changed

Although there is no big difference in the appearance in the blog, i have switched from the old blogger 'Minima' template to the new one, for easier management of page elements. But, I've lost all the previous haloscan comments as a tradeoff. And i plan not to have haloscan anymore, inspite of its inviting features, as i don want to lose comments anymore.

Sorry to all commenters on my previous posts.

Blaze

the spreding blaze.... the rustic technoilogy of cooking...... Hungry trekkers.... Hot rice in the making....... A night with nature........ Satisfied eyes and satisfied stomach


This was taken when we were cooking food on top of thadiyandamol. It was a fun experience to have hot rice on a cold night on top of the hills. For more pics taken on the same trek, see my post on my other blog Thadiyandamol again.

Agility

Thats srikanth during his air-kicks.......... I fell a li'l proud of this picture, as i caught him on exactly the position i wanted in a narrow window of time (without his knowledge... or else, it could destroy the naturality of the pic) ... with the sun at the side...... a bit like he's breaking loose from the sun by kickin it off..... Moreover it gives a picture of agility



Pic taken on top of Thadiandamol, Coorg, India. For other pics taken on the same trek, see my post on my other blog Thadiyandamol again.

P.S: This has become sriks profile pic as well

Slideshows shifted

I thought my photoblog isnt the right place for the bubbleshare slideshows of the photos taken during trips n treks...... as not all of em are taken just for the pure joy of taking pictures, and thereby dilutes the effect of the ones that were. So, i have shifted all those to my personal blog. However, select pictures from that will still be posted here.

red streaks amidst the evening blue

I always wished to witness an aurora. But, since im blessed with a hometown of a very low latitude (13.5 degrees), I cant dream of witnessing one here. The closest thing to it that i can hope for, is the reddened post-sunset clouds, which although in video would be much less glamorous than an aurora, but still worth it in a photo

Side by side

The Port Island in Kobe, being an artificial one, has little room for trees. There are a few parks. But apart from that, trees seemed to be a bit scarce. So, it seemed a nice composition to see natural and artificial side by side.
