-Confucius

  2. I am so allergic to wisdom and intelligence Aamir. I am allergic to saints swamis gurus babas bhagwaans who are selling wisdom in your country. And your countrymen buy it, paint it and sell it back to us.
    I have never heard of any Baba swami or guru going to Somalia sudan Rwanda and sell their wisdom there.

    Terrific pictures Aamir, calm relection, very soothing to my tired eyes.

    This is one of the best from you becoz it brings peace and relaxation to anyone who sees it.
    Thank you for sharing with us.

    I changed my camera to kodak easyshare and started playing with it. I pictured myself looking at the mirror and experimenting a lot.

  9. No apologies needed . the sharing of your talent is thanks enough. these posts to me are a lil different than your past, different not being bad. Great shots reminds me of the serenity of the country..I guess I must admit call me selfish I would however love to see you post more.. ;o) but I can 100 percent relate to the NO time thing. Where do all the hours go? Just not enough of them!

  17. Nabeel, thank you. Reflecting surfaces always reflect. The angle of light only makes a difference in the shadow and highlights. At noon, the sun is high up making the subjects bright and over exposed and the shadows are lost.

  18. Kimberley, thank you. Your comments are really appreciated. Why do you think this post is different from the others?

  19. Corinne, yeah. Thanks for the auto-pilot idea. I first saw it on your blog :)

    Those pelicans hang out everyday in the marsh and there is always a group of 5 or 6 swimming and fishing together.

  35. Hi again.... What I menat was usually when I look at your shots I see a side of "your" world that otherwise I would never see or atleast see it "that way" Your work is GRAND! This is just as grand but its more "commonplace" than your normal I am used to seeing. Great view great shots but just more common for you anyway. I am a huge admirer of your work and this is just my "opinion" as I see it... smile..great as always..
