Here's some photos I took in March, these are spots on the road to my school.

Interesting to note: these photos are really different from the usual town scapes I get to shoot here because my school's in the cantontment area—th eplace where the British army quarters were back when Britain ruled India. so it's historical.


1.A big tree:

2.A humback bridge, really old :

Image

3.I call this, '2, three, 4 wheelers':



Image


4.My favourite: A haunted hut:

Image

5.A cyclist:

Image

6.A romantic pond overlooked by the humpback bridge:

Image

7.A creepy banyan tree which I am mesmerized by:

Image



finally...

the grand finale

Leaves!

So what do you think, eh?

I adore the fourth one! It looks so abandoned, and the wild-life has just been able to take over!

Are there things hanging down from the banyan tree? It looked like there were but I wasn't too sure.
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)

A big tree: Really cool. I like the dark and light colours that mix with each other. I like the bicycle in the bottom left corner. :D

A humpback bridge: I like this one because at the bottom you have all the leaves and the trees and then you see the bridge in the back. Really cool.

2,3,4 wheeler : What's the chances of getting the shot.

Haunted house: Really cool. The trees and their roots growing on the house.
Love it.

A cyclist: Ha ha very funny. The dude riding on his bicycle. I imagened something in the background, like a tornado or something.

The pond: This is my favourite one. All the green, brown and red on the side and then the water in the middle and from afar you can see the bridge. Love it! :D

Banyan tree: You're right, it takes you somewhere else. It is so beautiful.

Leaves: I love the variety of colours!

I think your pictures are good. Keep it up! :wink:

Wow, these are really good! I love the leaves and the big tree, and the bridge! I love bridges like that; very romantic-looking.

The one with the tree and the bicyclist was a little crooked, though. In some instances this works, but here I think it makes it a little difficult to look at.

Peace, love, chocolate,

I loved 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5! Those are really, really impressive photos, and some of them have such beautiful balance. They're really good, beautiful. I hope to see more by you. :D

The way the colors stand out against the gray old bridge, and the way the camera is focused on the colors kind of makes my head hurts when I look at it. None the less, it is a very beautiful picture.

The haunted hut is also my favorite. I really love how the trees have just seemed to grow over the roof and all around the house, giving it that truly 'haunted' feeling.

The big tree had sort of the same effect for me. Although, the darkness of it's trunk and branches against the light behind it made it seem sort of...mystical. Kind of creepy, but in a beautiful way. Great work!

My personal favorite was the bridge. It just soothed me for some reason. I'm not sure why...

I also liked the banyan tree. Those always tend to help me relax.

Thanks all of you...these pics are really special tome because I've been travelling by these spots for thirteen years...brings back all my school memories.

I plan to do another photo session in that area, I'll be sureto post 'em in yws.

Also, an intersting fact I forgot to mention,

the tree in the haunted hut picture is the same as the one in the 2nd last one! I'll have to full get a complete shot of it. It's brilliant.

It's only after this that I realize how beautiful a place I've been going to for 13 years. All this days, this area was beautiful to me, but now I realize it's beautiful even to an outsider!!! :P What say!
