~Clouds at dusk~ Photo

Photographer’s Note

Leaving Delhi after battling with mercury at 46 when I reached Atlanta, I was thrilled to see the dark cloud waiting to burst out in rains. It was short before dusk to set in and well before the dinner to start at Centre for Disease Control (CDC) where we were invited. Before entering the building I looked at the sky and thought that there are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds which come floating into my life not only to carry rains or usher in storms but also to add colour to my sunset sky. A pessimist sees only dark sides of the clouds and frowns, a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs with detached indifference but an optimist doesn’t see the clouds at all – he just walks on them. I was at a loss to identify myself where I belong to.

Partha.

Really, your thoughts makes me think too..
To which category does we belong?
I think, we have another vision other than those said in notes....
So close to the burst out of clouds..and did you feel the touch of rain drops in your heart?

Lovely is this image in sense of heartfelt
feels..the love to embrace a cool shower.

Remember, love comes from anywhere...just feel it...

Another shot from the States, showing your insatiable interest while travelling - a castle in the clouds, stable and ready to defy the elements ! The colours are dramatic and beautiful and atmospherical, and of course, your note is a pleasure to read as all the previous ones...

If you were living in a cold and wet climate, you would see the rain differently ; for us, it is not a welcome change from the unbearable heath, - on the contrary, it tells that once again, it will get colder and let's not forget to wear sweaters and to bring along our jacket !

About the photo, I'm not able to judge much, but while the light is very well managed here, I wish I could see a bit more of the building (the base of it), maybe was it difficult for you to take a few steps back and find another POV...

But the sky is splendid for its colours,
TFS,
Cath.

Hi Partha,
This must have been taken from inside of the building because there is a line reflection upper part of the building. Well composed ...very good contrast and sharpness. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Dear Parthada
Dark clouds, rich note & points to ponder. You would have taken this shot from inside some building. Wish we can see such clouds in Dilli soon.
Regards
Angshuman

Hello Partha!
Very interesting building, I like the vary dark sky byt I think it will be better to show all floors of the bulding!
