Diwali, is a festival of lights. It's a five day festival, where on the last day we burst crackers in the evening, prepare delicacies, make rangolis, light diya, etc. This rangoli is made using flowers and colours.Quote:

Is that your dog?
Thanks for sharing.

Nice pictures Snowqueen. Your one with the birds on a branch is very good. It's the kind of pic I'd like to draw or paint - though I don't draw or paint at the moment. (One day I might go to a class).
Nice ones, Snowqueen. I've never seen colors like that in the sky.
Thank you so much for admiring the pictures. I like to capture the different colours of sky.:)Quote:

The frost was covering the trees, and has stayed all day today. Looks great.

Paul,
You must have shifted or otherwise altered your images. All I see is the following ("This image or video has been moved or deleted"):

I took this one at night. It was frosty.

It was foggy on this day.

The high contrast is interesting. Looks like late afternoon or early morning.Quote:

Thanks Gilliat.

I took this a few days ago on my way to work.
It was much better in person.

I know what you mean - I use my phone, but it makes everything that much further away. I've never got into photography with cameras, but the phone's always there.Quote:

Great colours
the colours are always in the eyes of the observers :)
How do you know?:D
Preference might be in the eye of the observer - can we say colours though?
youre right, i dont know. in any ways, nice colors.
:)
Agreed!
Ladybird and a berry.

Some fall pictures of the Canadian Rockies. Better late than never, right? I kind of alltogether missed Summer. Ah, well.

I don't know what that rock structure is supposed to be, some witchy folk from town must've made it. Maybe our descendants will discover it in a thousand years and it'll be the future's stonehenge.

and an old fav:

'He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision—he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath—"The horror! The horror!" '

great stuff weltanschauung.
I remember the first time I got to see the sun set over the water at Lake Michigan. It was beautiful! I love all of the pictures here.
I went to Miyajima Island this week and managed to snap a picture of the sunset over the islands, so I thought I'd contribute to this thread. :)

Ok, I have been off this thread for long enough (Things have been a bit hectic). Anyway... This batch is a bit different from what I usually post: It is from a Rock Band Competition (!) among the companies in town. Each participating company sets up a band from among its staff and... Well, it usually amounts to a great party. Some people have been seen holding their heads afterwards, but still grinning:

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5214.jpg
Getting started. This bloke happens to be from the head office.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5220.jpg
Dramatic pose... (He even got up afterwards). :D
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5232.jpg
The crowd goes wild....
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5247.jpg
Some get wilder than most...
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5248.jpg
More, more....
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5251.jpg
Final effort...
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5253.jpg
Done....
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5256.jpg
After the gig...
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...k/IMG_5298.jpg
Waiting for the judges decision... and look who has lost his wig.

Ooopsss! The paparazzo of the evening caught with his own camera... :D

Here are a few, some I took on my cell camera and used some apps to edit, and some I took on my DSLR. The one of the child is my daughter.
