God's Gift to Nature

The Holy Roman Emperor

This is a view of Charles peering out from the St. Nicholas Church's right wall. Seen with a golden staff he was the most famous emperor of Bohemia and the Roman empire. This famous king has two cities, a university, and a bridge named after him. Under his patronage Prague had truly gained a lot.

FACT: The king was said to suffer from gout and this gave him a hunchbacked appearance. The Old Town Square has great architectural feats. These building range from the eatufil Cathedral of Tyn to the sculptures and statues of kings, saints and monarchs that line up all along the Charles Bridge.

The Ticking of the Clock

This time I headed off to Staroměstské Náměstí /Old Town Square in good ol' Prague. This is a glimpse of the Astronomical Clock in the Square. Standing in the middle of the square, you are surrounded by Astronomical Clock, St. Nicholas Church, and the Church of our Lady Before Tyn. This small opening is situated in a hustle and bustle of crowded narrow streets. Restaurants lie in front of the clock and the square is a setting for Christmas celebrations and small performances put up by individuals/groups.

It's going to be six 'o' clock soon. Everyone is gathering around the clock to raise their cameras and focus on the ringing clock tower as Jesus and his twelve disciples emerge from the two tiny doors above the clock. You catch a small view of them coming out.

Along the Vltava

The land of aspiring spires --- Prague. True enough!! There are thousands of churches and castles in Czech Republic. It is said to have the largest number of castles (Germany is of mistaken in its case). Well in this picture, you can see the famous Charles Bridge (the old dark bridge) in the background. Legend has that the Charles Bridge was made up of a large contribution of eggs by the citizens of Prague, centuries ago. Humans too were also believed to be part of the building materials. Yikes!!! So this in short is a magnificent view of the River Vltava from one of the bridges.

Facing the South

This photo which was taken by me at Kanyakumari, the southern tip of India. For this shoot, I woke up early in the morning at about 5 and skidded downthe road. The road would descend down to the beach which stank of fish. The beach was basically covered with jagged rocks and widespread nets. It was amazing to see the early fishermen out with their boats to start their morning routine. Against the pale twilight zone, you could small light hazes which were the well equiped lanterns installed on each boat. On my right, metres away was the enormous lighthouse. On this summer morning, a huge group of tourists including my sweet-self gathered to raise our cameras at the rising sun and share our delight with the usual exclamation of the oohs!! and aahs!! The occasional sea-breeze with its pungent smell of fish helped to awaken the remaining dozers. After the sun fully rose, I walked back to the hotel.

RECOMENDATION: Its a real place to travel to with nice photographic opportunity. The three seas meet here in this enticing spot --- the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. A must see place.

Welcome to My Life/ Blog

Heya People,

This is my first entry in my blogs about my interactions with nature. Well as a start let me fill you in with the details of my life. It basically consists of waking up in the morning by 8 'o clock (my parents rarlely allow me to sleep ahead after that!!). After all the usual cleaning and studying, I sit down in front of my computer to go through my usual entertainment --- chatting, reading ebooks, listening to music...So, now I decided to start a blog. From all of my visits to different places, I have decided to upload the photographs taken by moi. I am a novice and just turning 15 I have to say for myself that its one of those perky hobbies a teenager picks up in their teens...Wishing your blogs a great success, and I hope you guyz wish my blog the same (hahaha)!!! Hope you view my later entries.
