Photography is something i m very passinate about …. and anyone who loves photography esp. Nature - bound to love travelling …. well it’s a different story that i don’t go out of town that often !!

Last year in October went to Kolkata and went to many different places in just a week’s time.

This river used to be very wide (around a 1 km wide) at the time when my mom was young ….. she saw it herself. As years goes by it is narrowing …. and it won’t be long when people won’t need boats to cross the river ….. though i wish that day never comes !!!

Love the colorful people on the boat with the back drop of grey (color of water) …. it seems as if there is still hope !

Name of the place - Ichhamoti river at Katakhali (North 24 Pargans) West Bengal - India.

As for me …. Sunset beyond the trees look stunning ! Those orange rays peeping through the leaves n branch is mesmerizing The pathway runs from the darkness towards the the bright paddy fields …. this is a beauty of Bengal !!!

Name of the place …. Joshai-Kati (North 24 Pargans) West Bengal - India.

It’s a Kali mandir at Amulia village …. n it still is a real village with earthern roads - mud house with teracotta tiles roof …. n lots of greenery !!!

It’s like our maternal ancestral temple. It is believe that the flowers offered to the Goddess and the soil of this temple ….. cures any health problem - Yes off course …. it maybe becasuse of one’s believe

It’s the Victoria Memorial …. in Kolkata. It’s a memorial of Queen Victoria of United Kingdom. It’s a museum which has a collection of weapons - sculptors - painting - stamps - coins - textile etc. of Queen Victoria’s time. It was amazing looking a those collection esp. those magnificent painting !!

My 10 year old cousin wanted us to see the Kolkata metro …. so that we can compare the Delhi metro n the Kolkata metro …. n so we took the metro to Victoria Memorial.

Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Botanical Garden …. it’s located in Shibpur (Kolkata) on the west bank of river Hoogly … n so took this pic. Love the composition with the bit of  branches and a root  falling from the top n the boat in the back ground

The trip to the Garden was wonderful … it’s a huge garden - can’t finish it at one go …. looking forward to my next visit !!

P.S. why i didn’t post any photo of the real garden with trees n flowers ? well - because only 5 photos were allowed as per the rule of the contest …. otherwise i have tons of photos to show !!!

Will be going to Kolkata again this year … but hopefully for a little longer time so that i can go to many more places and click many more photos

Sending this post for the Travel photos … Blog Adda contest - which is sponsored by the ….       Pringoo :0

It wasn’t  even a week since the Air India crashed at Manglore airport ….  now this train accident. Kolkata - Mumbai train (Gyaneshwari Express) derailed as the maoists sabotaged the railway tracks. Some many people died … we may feel sad for some time - but our life goes on …. for those family n relative who died in this incidents - life has come to an hault …. the pain of  sudden death of a loved one is unbearable n unmeasurable ….  we can never feel their pain !!!

….. i actually can’t understand this - whos fault is it ?.  i mean if the maoists have problem with the government - why don’t they deal it with them …. why killing so many inocent people …. this is not right !  Don’t they have their families n relatives … r they turning into  terroists (i thought maoists n terroists r two different identity …. i’m wrong ?) …. where r we heading too ?

This is sad …. no one knows if they will be alive the next day or not …. i try to think positively but fail !!!

Posting a “Sunset” shot in the morning weird na …. but can’t help it

Happy Wordless Wednesday …. enjoy !!!

Wild flowers are always exotic n gorgeous ….. their color n shape are amazing too …. this one too is a wild creeper flower !!

Captured it at Botanical Garden (Shivpur - West Bengal) .

At my mashima’s house in Barasat (West Bengal) …. i love the texture created by those leaves - looking through their gaps is amazing !! n i love green …. nature - n those little green leaves make a beautiful bokeh (those blur leaves in the background) too
