Amazing Car Photography
[pic from the same site – see link below]
If you have a passion for fancy looking cars, and you are passionate about photography (fast motion photography etc), then this site is a must watch for you. I was left breathless for some time – ofcourse the breathlessness was because of the combined effect of both the awesome cars and the beautiful photography.

How to get your (lost) camera back !
Digital photography school has a cool way ( as suggested by Andrew McDonald) on how to get your camera back, if you had misplaced it, lost it, or just got plain stolen. Put in a series of pictures in it, and give your contacts on how to return it. The more genuine/funny you make it, the larger the chances you may get it back. Few samples of the storyboard below:

Reflective photography
This set of photographs (I have included only two below, but there are many more in the link below), just goes on to show that, it does not require the fanciest camera, or the fanciest sunset locale for the perfect photograph. Nature reflects so much. The inherent symmetry in these images are just awesome.

Another Sunset on Old Madras Road (Bangalore)
Another dramatic sunset, taken a few weeks back, while returning back home from work. Another day, when I was banging my head on my steering wheel, for not having the Canon with me. This was taken with my Nokia camera phone.
Water: Our thirsty world
A beautiful slideshow from the FastCompany website. Just fantastic images of water sources across the world. The best of the lot (in my opinion) is the above image, which is a long exposure shot over the Ganga in Haridwar, where you can see the flickery trails of the diyas (small lamps) which are let afloat by pilgrims.

Bangalore City Railway Station (Majestic) by night
Well, theoretically, not quite night – dusk – 630PM. Shot using my new Canon SX120 IS. Fast shutter speed shot.
Beautiful Darasuram
Visited the beautiful temple of Darasuram (about 5 km from Kumbakonam). The temple is one of the two temples built by the Raja Raja Cholans (I and II), which have striking resemblences to the big temple in Tanjavur (the other one is in Gangai-konda-chozhapuram). The temple has now been taken over by the Archeological Society of India (ASI) for preservation and restoration. More info on wikipedia here.
Legend: The temple kurukkal (priest) gave us a run down of the legend of the temple. The white elephant of Indra (Airavatha) was cursed by someone and became black. The elephant then, came to Darasuram, took bath in the temple tank, and then did abhisheka to the Lord, and Lord Shiva gave papa-vimochanam, and turned him back to his regal white color. Hence the name of the diety – Airavatheshwara. Lord Shiva’s consort name here is Periya nayagi.
