Different Hues of My Mind

March 18, 2011 - Akshaya Nagar, Bangalore Come spring time and the Tabebuia trees lined up along many roads of Bangalore blossom and turn into wonderful hues of pink and yellow. Although spring doesn't last very long, the short period of full bloom gives some respite for sore city eyes. Unfortunately, the trees that line up the road near our house didn't bloom in tandem. Nevertheless, it did make for a beautiful morning when I stepped out of the house to click the picture.

February 19, 2011 - Mettupalayam road, Karamadai We were returning from Coonoor when we passed Mettupalayam on the way to Coimbatore. As we approached this small town, heavy traffic indicated that the famous car festival was happening at the Sri Ranganathar temple. We were engulfed by a sea of humanity as huge masses of devotees made it towards the temple from all directions. This onlooker was watching me with amusement as I really struggled to click some photos amidst all this frenzy. He stood there posing for me, and moved on as soon as I clicked his picture.

February 18, 2011 - Near Lamb's Rock, Coonoor The sight seeing tour of Coonoor takes you through attractions like Singara Tea Estates, Lamb's rock and Dolphin's Nose viewpoint. Other than these, you can also stop at various points to marvel at the beauty of the Nilgiris. We had hired a car to take us through these tourist attractions apart from other interesting viewpoints and spots. On the way back, while passing by Lamb's rock I noticed these roadside hedges with beautiful red flowers appearing as streaks as we sped past them. I clicked a photo to capture that moment.
