Set in Stone

Sometimes random objects get created by nature so that we get an opportunity to capture them. This red flower was quietly residing in pond with stones. Water was so still and transparent that I could almost remove it from the photo so that the flower looked set in stone object.

Hong Kong skyline from The Peak looks stunning and I still admire it every time I go there even after staying in Hong Kong for over 9 years. This photo was taken on a bright day in end of November 2010.

Beautiful flower named Cliff Bottlebrush in Hong Kong Park. Thanks to some breeze it was difficult to photograph this delicate flower from a close distance as it kept moving.

Yesterday FIPHK photography group spent a couple of hours at the Hong Kong Park. Was very intrigued to see different types of fishes creating ripples in the pond. Captured this beautiful orange fish creating ripples through mouth & fins.

Visited a small place in Guangdong province in August 2010 and found this man riding an automated bullock cart with manually fitted engine. It exactly performed like a bullock cart including bumpiness.

Large Lego

Sun soaked buildings on the south side of Hong Kong Island looked like a large size lego assembly. Photograph taken in late November from the Matilda Hospital in Hong Kong.

Charming Portofino

Portofino (Italy) is best known as one of the most charming ports for many centuries. This fishing village on the Ligurian Sea has now turned into a popular hangout for celebrities. Charm is significantly enhanced because of the crystal clear water, pastel colour buildings, and small sail boats.

Magical Miyajima

Mijyajima Island is located off the coast of Hiroshima in Japan. Miyajima means Shrine Island. The Itsukushima Shrine is a large, red-lacquered complex of halls and pathways on stilts, originally so built that commoners could visit without defiling the island with their footprints. It looks the best at sunset.

Soaking Simplicity

Village houses of Miyajima in Japan soaking sun just before the Sunset. The simplicity of this village was magical. And this is a humble attempt to capture that simplicity.

Mountain or Warrior

Unique mountain that looks like a man in a sleeping position – can clearly see facial features – eyes, nose, mouth. Wonder whether this is a tomb of an unknown ancient warrior. This photograph was taken near the Mutiyanu section of the Great Wall.
