Mouli's thoughts and musics over two decades

Brilliant screen printing on the side of a mini-bus – the staff bus of Bosch power tools. It shows a Bosch hammer (not shown in picture) punching holes through out the bus’s sides.
Some high speed train pictures that I took on my last visit to the bay area, California. This is the Mountain View train station. There are regular trains from the bay area to San Francisco. This was shot in the evening twilight.
The above header image is a cropped version of another picture that I snapped on the way back from Tirupathi to Bangalore. The sun was playing all kinds of games that day – hiding between the trees, then between the two mountains, and ofcourse, a couple of times, taunting my eyes as well …

A great photoblog that I stumbled upon yesterday. Great pictures, taken by an avid photographer. Do visit her blog here.
Brilliant photo slideshow on the Times webpage.
Excerpt:
In his new book, Vanishing Giants, Photographer Palani Mohan journeys across Asia, searching for the soul of the Asian Elephant.
