Fall and Spring...................Frozen

It was raining on and off through the night and then the temperature dropped. The next morning I found every single branch encased in ice! I found this tree which had spring leaves emerging from the same branch that still had a brown fall leaf hanging on. It looked like three seasons preserved in one shot until the sun peaked out and the sky turned blue...Now the quartet was complete. I just needed some Vivaldi as I got immersed in this scene.

Tolerance

In Thirppurangundram, Tamil Nadu, India, on the road leading to the main Subramaniar temple, there is a mosque and a smaller Hindu temple (pretty close to each other). When I visited this town last summer this road was festooned with Communist Party flags in preparation for a public meeting. As you can see from the photographs the lines bearing the flags run right over the temple and the mosque.

Yes, we can all get along well with each other!

Large Spider

Entomologists/wildlife enthusiasts out there, could you please help me identify this beautiful spider? I found her in south Tamilnadu, India.

Abstract Photographs

Wish you all a very happy new year! From now on I shall post my photographs and writing at this Artwork blog instead of having separate blogs for them. The old posts in those blogs will continue to remain there as I have no idea how to move them here without playing havoc with the comments section on those posts.
