An amazing view shot at the Badlands national park in South Dakota. The rugged landscape is in stark contrast to the green pastures (North American prairie) normally visible at this place.

Pebble beach
I wish I could show you the pebbles in this shot 🙂 But the reason I framed it this way was to highlight the serene water and pleasing twilight colors.
Location: Pebble beach, @ Split rock state park, Silver bay, MN.
This is a 115 second exposure with a moist lens and a wet tripod as bonus 🙂
Split Rock..
Split Rock is one of the oldest lighthouses in USA. Built in 1910 at a cost of $75000 it boasted an advanced lens/light system imported from France. I took this shot around 6 in the evening… and the smooth water is the result of a 76 second exposure..

Noticed a large number of men buying balloons at Cubbon Park. Bangalore. Presumably for their women.

Giant Bamboo trees adorn Cubbon Park. The creaking noise they make when the wind blows is really spooky!
Here is another type of park in Bangalore.
Here are some Pics of what we believe is Essentially Bangalore!
