Here I present a collection of what I believe are some of the best photographs I have taken.
1. Royal Bengal Tiger
Staring right at you, indeed it is Royal! Not far from the hubbub of Bangalore, you can find it relaxing in the serenity of the Banerghetta National Park.
2. New York City at night
The city that never sleeps – and literally that! The almost panoramic view of the city. Taken from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the city (after the ill-fated Twin Towers were felled of course). The ornamented Chrysler Building, the MetLife Building and the the illuminated Manhattan Bridge at the distance can all be seen.
3.Daulatabad Fort
A perfect silhouette. A gate in the hill-fortress of Devgiri. The center of power of Deccan and famous for the capricious Muhammad bin Tughluq shifting his capital here. (He was the one who changed the name from Devgiri to Daulatabad.)
4. The carriers of peace
They symbolize peace and the court ensures that peace prevails. What better place than this for these pigeons to congregate – the lawns of the Karnataka High Court, located in the heart of Cubbon Park, Bangalore.
5. The White House
The South portico of the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States. I would better refer to it as just the most famous of the numerous gigantic and astounding white buildings – most of them are the places where some of the most important policies which influence the whole world are decided. The rest are some very famous museums. All within a 2 km vicinity.
6. Khandala
The famous hill station in the Western Ghats. A perfect chill-out place, located the right in between the two big cities – Mumbai and Pune. At the right is the expressway connecting the two cities.
7. My School Days!
Yes they were the fun days! Undoubtedly one of the best places to be for your childhood – Narendrapur. Shivananda Bhavan – this was the hostel where I lived during class 8. The picturesque view from across the lake in front of the hostel.
8. Brooklyn Bridge
The majestic bridge that connects Manhattan with Brooklyn. This pic was taken from just beneath the bridge – in a cruise in the river. In the background is the series of sky-scrapers that define the Manhattan skyline.
9. Nandi Hills
The awesome view from atop the Nandi Hills, a popular hill station, 60 km north of Bangalore. The place used to be the summer resort of Tipu Sultan.
10. Birds at Central Park
A convenient oasis for New Yorkers escaping from their skyscrapers – The Central Park. Also well-known globally after its appearance in many movies and television shows, making it one of the most famous city parks in the world. Early morning is the time when birds of various species throng the place as seen here.
11. The Blue Beluga
Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta – world’s largest aquarium. And one of its prize collections – the Beluga whale, a sub-Arctic species. This is one of the five belugas that the aquarium has.
12. The peeping sun
A warm afternoon and a clear sky. An the vegetation at its best, forcing the sun to peep from behind. At the Lalbagh, Bangalore.
