Eiffel.



Iconic. Magnificent. Wonder. Humongous. Powerful. Breathtaking. Beautiful. Eiffel.

Fire



It is hard to say if life imitates art or vice-versa. I was my usual self playing with my cam when I pointed and shot at the camp fire while we were camping on the coasts of Mendocino, CA. I was startled at how vibrant and painting-like the hues of the burning fires looked. The flames had the agility of a trained dancer and the looks of a abstract art, painted skilfully in slick oils.
Life seemed to be an infinite loop of art and itself. One tracing the footsteps of another consuming themselves in fires of passion

An affair to remember



Sometimes the size is not what impacts the eye - or the mind. While squishing sand under feet and trekking to the beach, I found a little wild flower, actually a flower that is a cluster of flowers and scooted down to click it. The tiny bloom wasn't larger than a dime. When my lens zoomed in, I spotted the surprise package - a tiny little critter devoring the bloom. At first, it emerged a wee bit, and then it disappeared and then it came out full form. My fascination knew no bounds and my joy joined as I bought home a larger than life image of the tiniest bloom and worm known to the womankind - ahem, the one woman womankind!

Size?? Doesn't matter. At all.

MonaLisa's Home Sweet Home



I'd heard about "Paris" long before I'd understood the concept of countries and boundaries. And the hype and hoopla surrounding the city with its allure and glamor puts the namesake celebrities that loiter around the social circuit to absolute shame. One can not help but succumb to the city's magnificence, beauty and magnetic charm. Each street seems to have a story of it's own, each block unfolds a drama so captivating. Eiffel stands tall and proud in the midst, like a show host giving us a sneak preview of what can be discovered in the magical city of fashion and fragrances. The weather was kind to us - it was a sunny noon with the right amount of breeze to let us focus on what is around us. This snap was clicked from the second level of Eiffel. The sky, the waters, the roads and even the vehicles that travel on them seem to follow a certain flow, a certain pattern and hue that makes Paris what it is.
The buildings and the museums co-exist on busy streets busting with tourists and natives. Paris is definitely a piece of work, a brilliance, a masterpiece that not only houses one of the wonders of the planet - but stands alone as a wonder in itself in all its breathtaking glory.

Here's a picture that provides evidence of the explanation - and the shadow of Eiffel on the right bottom corner seems to agree!
