When the earth becomes canvas and nature becomes painter, the best paintings are created. Presenting here two such natural paintings. First is mighty Himalaya seen from Snow view, Nainital and the second is a village of Champawat, Uttarakhand. The work of Nature is truly incredible.

Today's photo is this beautiful little blue flower. It was growing lonely in my backyard when I captured this. Thought, it was a single flower around yet it was very refreshing.

This Postcard like photo is a cool morning view of Almora, the city of colors. Fog is settling in the far valley and offering a pleasant and clear sky above.

Amidst the hills of that area, this is a large flat ground somewhere between Saharfatak and Lamgara. It acts as a great sporting venue for nearby villages and many sporting events took place here. Surrounding view from this place is just mesmerising.

If there are flowers, there must be throns somewhere and sometims they are so intermixed that it becomes very difficult to segregate them. Today's picture is one such combination.

The road from Lohaghat to Bhimtal via Sahar fatak is full of greenery and dense forest of oak, buransh and pine. This picture was taken a few days back when a fox suddenly crossed the road in front of our car and disappeared into the Jungle.

Well, its summer time but these flowers have different to say. Amidst the scorching heat, they are blooming as if they are welcoming the spring. These pictures were taken a few days ago at my village in Champawat, Uttarakhand.

Every life ends one day. Its law of Nature and it is full of coincidences. In this picture, there are two trees, one which is old and gone and the other which is live and green. The nature has its own ways to convey the message...a life ends and another one begins.

The tiny beautiful decorative piece caught my attention in a suvinour shop in Kempty fall Mussoorie. Kempty fall is a waterfall in Dehradun District located near Mussoorie. It is a very popular tourist attraction.

Today's morning is a very special one. It's brother's marriage and what can be better than a fresh pinky rose to wish him a fantastic beginning of new chapter in his life.

Well this was a very interesting composition clicked on the trails of Mal Devta, Dehradun. During one of our off road excursions back in 2013, we took the road less traveled towards Mal Devta. This composition has many things packed in one frame. Be it trail, the bike and biker, the village women in the background or...the expression of passerby. This photo was indeed an story in itself.

It is a citadel and fort in Southern India and was the capital of the medieval sultanate of the Qutb Shahi dynasty . The fort is situated 11 km west of Hyderabad city.   The whole of the Golkonda Fort complex and its surrounding spreads across 11 km of total area and discovering its every nook is an arduous task. A visit to the fort reveals the architectural beauty in many of the pavilions, gates, entrances, and domes. Divided into four district forts, the architectural valour still gleams in each of the apartments, halls, temples, mosques, and even stables.  The Golkonda region is famous for the mines that have produced some of the world's most famous gems, including the Koh-i-Noor, the Hope Diamond, Nassak Diamond and the Noor-ul-Ain.
