The Lucknow Chronicles

Think of me as A-leash in Wonderland.

Lucknow has fantastic skies! The Morning Skies are clear azure. The Evening Skies are passion pink. The Night Skies are crystal clear.

This place can drive a shutterbug like me crazy. I never seem to be able to put the camera back in the pocket. Sometimes it's almost embarassing. Today I was curling up up on the library lawns trying to get the right angle for an elevation shot. Granted it's twilight and everything, but people coming up to ask if I'm alright is a little out of line. Bah.

Anyway, I had the last laugh. Got some fantastic long exposure shots. Look down below for a few of them. I hope I get time to continue the good work. Workload is scaling up rather ominously. Library is getting crowded. People are walking faster. The drums are sounding louder. And I'm sitting in a corner, watching it all. All I fear is losing the smug smile on my face and getting sucked right in. Hornets are building nests in my balcony.

The last bit is not metaphorical. I have defeated them temporarliy with a double helping of Mortein, moth balls and lots of cellotape. I love these mundane challenges :) Tomorrow is a new day.

Hmm... your blog tells me that there are other things at hell as well which I incidentally keep misisng (blame it on myopia )and there is something about your personality which I've missed (again myopia).

BTW if you remember you had to share some pix with someone.
