CLOUDY SKY LINES!

 Can you remain sad and depressed,
When beauty around you, makes you feel blessed?

The mysteries of nature deepen, when you look up and see the mind blowing compositions of the wild blue yonder!

SKYWATCH AT THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

SKY'S INFINITE VARIETY!!!

 This sky watch is at Kumarhatti above Shivalik hills during monsoons. Picture taken at an evening outing.

This depicts the skyline above urban dwellings, in my home town at Patiala. Shot from the rooftop of our house.

This picture reminds me of our visit to the US during autumn of 2013.  Pl. note the blazing trees in a  parking lot at Cincinnati.

My archives lent a helping hand in sharing this sky view. Captured at Philadelphia (PA) in the US in 2013 during our visit there. It is the backyard of the house from where i took the picture.

SKY VIEW AND FENCES

The sky is an infinite movie to me. I never get tired of looking at what's happening up there.

K. D. Lang

These words reflect my feelings about the magic above us!!!

 

The sky view (above) one of my favorites is taken from my archives,when I's visiting the US in 2013.

The house having a clean neat look presents a graceful gate and I found it worth capturing.

The fence around a public park in a nearby complex, where I often go for getting some good shots.

OUTDOOR CAPTURES

Iron fence guarding the well maintained space beyond the boundary wall of a beautiful house in our neighborhood. Shot taken during an early morning outing last week.

Clear blue sky smiling at the green belt of trees and bushes. At 8'o clock in the morning, the mild sun spreading soft haze in the park, close by to our residence.

SKY WATCH FRIDAY AND TWIN GATES

 The scene captured during my morning walk!

Twin gates  of the houses on the outer road of our community. The residents of  these houses have an advantage as they overlook a beautiful park, where i often go for a walk.

This sky watch refers to the cloudy weather conditions, prevailing more than a fortnight back, when monsoon rains were on the last leg of their tour for the season!

SKY WATCH AND GOOD FENCES

The gate represents one of the two entries to a well established religious sect (Radha Saomi) with branches all over the state of Punjab. It leads to a sprawling open space grown with healthy, well maintained trees, bushes and sundry plants. All are looked after by the devotees. They hold congregation on a fixed day of the week, which is always attended by the followers in strength. Its main center is based at 'Beas', another town in Punjab. One thing which is impressive about this sect is that its followers abstain from eating non vegetarian food and consuming alcohol. I think this to be social service worth appreciating.

After dry, humid and perspiring fortnight, we were blessed by rain Gods for two consecutive days that brought down the temperature and a chance to venture out for a comfortable walk.  The images of the cloudy sky above and below were captured during  a cool lull.

SKY WATCH AND GOOD FENCES

Part of my hill series:

 Monsoon rains are fully active  here these days. It rains almost every day. The earth is all agog with lustrous green freshness. The surroundings seem to be decked with resurgent vegetation of all types.

A partial view of  the chain fence which encircles the lawn of our complex.On the left  outside the fence there is a mound of earth overgrown with sundry flora. Some lanky pines seem to take care of the activities around.

 

  Iron railing around a small area below our unit overlooking the valley dense with fresh green pines.

 

Monsoon clouds trying to lay seize on the  canopy of the blue skyline.

Shot taken by looking up straight from the lawn.The  sky displaying thick rain filled clouds,is sort of sandwiched between tree tops.

SKY WATCH AND GOOD FENCES

Part of my hill series.

Late afternoon shot of the skyline from the road where I take a walk.

Here in the country side, wealthy people belonging to the plains,  build their  summer houses almost on top of the hills. During my walks I've noticed this trend getting popular. This one actually is on the road side itself. But on the backside it is surrounded by fresh looking pines and other vegetation.

Most of the units in our complex are built in such a way that every unit has a  small gate for entry to the flat. And all are different in design. This gate is the entry to the largest cottage in the community.

While driving on the Panchkula- Shimla Highway, I Captured the scene with the express desire of viewing the sky meeting the earth in a warm embrace!

Here, I'm on the scenic Himalayan Expressway. It bypasses the crowded Pinjore and Kalka. It is a sheer pleasure to drive on this as  you feel the presence of the cool mountain air and the joy of gorgeous views.

This gate is the entry to a four storied house built on the lower slopes of the hill. The part of the building, which is visible in the picture is the top story.This is a beautiful, well planned house with a lawn and has  some play area as well. The designs in the gate are made of wrought iron. Evening shot with signs of mist forming in the background.

Dark clouds are showing their menacing power.

 A part of my hill series.

A thick patch of cottony clouds above the mountains beautifying the skyline. Early afternoon shot from the 4th floor balcony of a relative's flat at Basal, Solan, during the week.

The menacing mood of the soon to thunder clouds on a dark grey background tells its own tale. Sky watch at Kumarhatti last summer.

A pattern of the sky in isolation.

The growing economy of this hill state has resulted in mushroom growth of building activity.Here(above) the builder after leveling a side of the mountain has constructed this block of flats for down right selling.The ground floor has shops. The mountain side is covered with stone and the other side has the iron railing.
