This feels like home


If I had been born two thousand years back and I had to build a house for myself, this is where I would have made it. Posted by Picasa

The Sun


The sun struggles to break out of the clouds, to see the serene beauty, for the last time, before starting for another one of his travels around the world. Shining for one last time, before they meet again... Posted by Picasa

The Last View


The last time I looked down from the Sahyadris. I was all down hill from there on. Posted by Picasa

Windmills


If there were mountains covered with thick green fresh grass on side of the road, there were windmills on the other side. Posted by Picasa

Near Ahmednagar


I took this shot 20 kilometres from Ahmednagar. The place was so beautiful that I just never wanted to leave it. Posted by Picasa

Sunflowers


Sunflowers are in great demand near Diwali, so most of the land was covered with them. Posted by Picasa

Sugercane


I spent some time in a sugarcane farm. You could just walk into one of the farms, nobody has any issues with it. Nice and helpful people. Posted by Picasa

The shephard


I asked him for a photograph and he just stood up smiling for one. Posted by Picasa

The Waterfall


These are the Hindu caves, which also have a beautiful waterfall, right next to the caves. I wonder if this was planned, or it was just nature's way of paying tribute. Posted by Picasa
