Photography – Shades & Shadows

This week Ann Christine has invited us to share pictures of shades and shadows for the Lens Artist Photo Challenge # 152.

I am presenting a snapshot of pictures from Jaipur and Udaipur, two famous cities of Rajasthan, India!

A peek into the play between the Sun, shade and shadows which make an interesting story.

Folk singers delighting the crowd with their soulful singing!

Dormant canon gun….Thank goodness, I don’t fire anymore 😉

Play of the sun and shadows on the old door!

Sun n Sea – A Harmony!

Eastern sky glistens

the dreamy sea slumbers on

indolent waves ebb

 

golden sunshine smiles

sun-drenched tides unfurl magic

turquoise melange

 

emits a bright trail

kisses the western skyline

lulls the blue expanse

 

oceanic tides

weaves an endless saga of

cadenced harmony!

 

 

 

Sun’s Trail….A Haiku Poem!

Embryonic rays

dawn exalts a coral blush

horizon aflame

 

mercury soars high

punctures the billowy clouds

casts a scorching gaze

 

the western skyline

brims with wisps of lavender

aesthetic adieu.

 

 

 

Fiery Heat!

Fiery heat casts a spell

on the dreary summer noon

green grass withers a tan,

the branches stand still,

water bodies parched to death,

birds scurry to quench their thirst,

the cicada’s trill, echoes anguish

nature lies defeated,

devoid of life

insipid, motionless

burning under the raging sun!

Sunrise!

The revolving orb spins around

announces the divine birth of dawn

a tint of scarlet blush emerges

behind the illuminated clouds

the darkness gently surrenders

to its ethereal glow

with a promise of a new day ahead!

 

The world today….

In response to secretkeeper’s weekly writing  prompt #123.  The challenge is to use the 5 words below in a poem or fiction.  This is the first time I am trying a Nonet.

War and terror reign supreme today

barbarous acts tarnish life

books painted with violent blood

the sun stands a witness

to a shriveled world

consumed by hate,

I, me, mine

evicts

love!
