Tapped


Tapped, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

The clouds were hovering around. But they have been tapped and tamed. No more rains and a nice cool weather these days.

I liked the silhouette although I can't recollect anything from my engineering subjects about this piece usually found on electrical grids. Do you remember anything?

Hold on to the rope and to your hope! You will certainly get much needed hike and promotion, one day! :)

The dark clouds have cleared and I could spot the morning sun from my terrace yesterday! And like a magic the days are no more somber and chilly!

Cold and Cloudy Bangalore


Cold and Cloudy Bangalore, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

Its winter here in Bangalore. However its been so cloudy that we have been missing the sun badly. The winters have never been so chilling as it has been this time around.

I captured this city landscape last evening. Even the cricket match in Bangalore got interrupted because of light drizzle late in the game!

Red Gown


Red Gown, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

Two ladies in red gowns! Can you spot them? :)

The home garden at Ankola has so many different flowers, plants, trees, saplings, et al. Overwhelmed! I don't even know the name of this flower! My dad-in-law certainly enjoys gardening!

Look at them. The three of them seem to be liking the day. They remind me of the three stooges. They look happy happy! :)

Fishing net


Fishing net, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.
Its pleasing to see India netting the best medal haul in Asian Games. 14 gold medals! This is much better than the 38 CWG gold medals with the added baggage of CWG scam and loot!

Nature's water bucket


Nature's water bucket, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

It rained a lot on my last day in Ankola. Fortunately we had kept no plans of venturing out on that day. Roaming out in the town or on the beach was all done and dusted! So it was time to relax and play some Scrabble!

Weed?


Weed?, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

This is an old picture that I am uploading. I had clicked many pictures of these flowers. Actually they are weeds and spread across quite fast. But by looking at the beautiful flowers I would never have thought that they belong to weed category! So there you see - nothing in nature is unwanted!

At the top


At the top, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.
That's how it looks when one is at the top! Is it a picture of loneliness or a picture of utter domination? Two sides of the same coin!

The picture is of a kite sitting on a pole on the neighboring terrace. I will post some more pictures clicked on this particular evening. The sky had adorned so many colors although you can see only orange in this frame. It was quite picturesque!

A quiet evening

I had thoughts of capturing some sunset moments in Ankola. Unfortunately this time around it was very cloudy. I couldn't get anything better than this one

Growing up


Growing up, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

Its a run-of-the-mill picture actually. I did not know that I would upload this one since I keep clicking so many such ordinary pictures. But I somehow like this one!

A scarrry meow


A scarrry meow, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

She is looking scary! I would stay away lest I want to be her lunch!

Jokes apart actually she was quite demure and sweet feline! She just appears to be angry which she was not! I love cats and dogs. They are one of the best companions around! Don't you agree?

Sweet Jasmine

In the backyard at Ankola, there are many Jasmine creepers. There is one that is a little different having flowers with purple spots. And they attract lot of ants!

What's brewing up?


What's brewing up?, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

So many controversies this time! The central government with its 2G Telecom scam and now the different state gov controversies which began with Maharshtra's Adarsh scam and now Karnataka contributing its share! The CWG scam is already there for months now! Media has been licking its lips.

I composed this shot in a CCD outlet near JNC, Koramangala.

Dragonfly


Dragonfly, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

This time when I had been to Ankola for Diwali I went on a photography spree :) Wish I had a DSLR, lot of lenses and filters! Anyway it did not stop my Canon SX120 from its adventures! :))

I had to run a lot behind this dragonfly and many shots went without much success. Hope this one is decent enough! Notice the yellow reflectors on the wings :)

After the morning showers the water droplets on this leaf looked like pearls..

Diwali and the lights


Diwali and the lights, originally uploaded by Guinea-Pig.

Alas the Diwali festival got over last week! The diyas, the candles, the colorful fancy lanterns, the lighting across towns and cities, gifts, sweets, Diwali wishes, friends, families, fireworks in the skies and on the streets! This Diwali vacation was fun! But what the heck! New year celebrations are not too far away! Yay!
