Weekly Photo Challenge / Phoneography Challenge : My Neighborhood

This was technically more challenging for me , as my Nokia mobile is losing its capturing ability in low light.

Still I managed to click a few from my terrace , that was the best way to capture the scenario around , which I won’t have been able to get on my walk in neighborhood , it was a beautiful scene to enjoy so many birds on one tree, and more kept on coming , & all of a sudden in one minute they flew away …..

and this another one is of the sunset , a few kites can still be seen …

Reflection of the greenery in the water  ~ Shammee

This photo was captured at a nearby village , where rain water got collected & the nearby greenery just fit in perfectly ,
Its beautiful how such nature’s glimpses are found at such offbit places . I really like to travel at such places , where there is this utter calmness in the atmosphere & you feel such a peace of mind.

Reflection of your own state of mind can be discovered at such places ……

Weekly Photo Challenge: Solitary …. you sometimes need your own little world …

It’s strange, but when you’re the only person you know who’s gone through something that’s changed you into a completely different person, for a while it’s like you’re on your own planet….

Solitude has different meanings & everyone has different way to perceive it , some people find crowded place as the best place to lose oneself  & find their solitude in such a environment , while some like to go off to wander along the lonely tracks , totally cut off from any communication or contact ….

Some are habituated to live in solitude , while some appreciate solitude time once in a while ….

Here are few pics that i think goes very well with the theme ….

 

-> “The necessary thing is after all but this: solitude, great inner solitude. Going-into-oneself and for hours meeting no one—this one must be able to attain.”

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

 

 

->“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”

~Oscar Wilde

->“Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours; whenever she was alone, she gave way to it as the greatest relief.”

~Jane Austen from Pride and Prejudice

 

Weekly Photo Challenge : Free Spirit >>>> Dubai

Last Christmas I went to Dubai for a trip , &  I just fell in love with it , here are some beautiful pictures of my memories which I think suits the current theme

This pic was shot at the entrance of H.H. Sheikh ‘s palace , ruler of Dubai , peacocks just wander around there freely , it was so surprising . I have never seen so many peacocks wandering around freely even in the presence of so many people. We fed them chips & they really liked it .

 

 

Dubai mall ha sits own attractions , one of them was this Ice Rink , even though I didn’t tried it , i could still feel the free spirit of people who were moving around the ice so swiftly  , like no barriers , just going with the flow …..

 

 

This exotic waterfall appeals to me more in the form of letting yourself free  , the upside down , makes it even more intensify , it just goes with the theme of Free spirit .

 

 

This pic was taken at Sandy Beach Fujairah UAE , while walking on the beach , able to look at my mirror image , feeling the water waves crack at my feet now and then , & listening to the voice of ship going far , it was like I was in 3rd dimension , even in the middle of  such a public place, I found my solitude . Free from all the worldly boundaries , flying  across …..

 

 

This shot was captured by me at Jumeirah beach , Dubai , it was a beautiful moment captured.

 

 

I am glad we didn’t got the parking place on the 1st floor of Emirates mall, in the search of parking slot we headed up straight to the terrace , & I couldn’t stop gazing at the beautiful sunset , between the high rise buildings , it was like sun was biding good bye to me , this was the last day i was staying in Dubai , & I just stood there for couple of moments biding farewell to Dubai & taking all those beautiful memories with me.
