India, a diverse country in my photographs
Fog on the northern Oregon coast was plenty. All the way from the fields and sloughs to the ocean. The high tide brought large waves even into the bays. The morning sun shone through the small fragments of the fog. The seastacks stood unperturbed. An ethereal mood at the sunrise...

Alone here at the edge, I stood.
The chilly wind made my hands go numb.
Water fell in the canyon incessantly.
My heart was feeling full watching it.
A faint purple glow appeared first right at the horizon… then a little more.. and more…

Talking about Rainbows...
East of the Cascades in Oregon, the sun finally breaks through after the heavily overcast morning clouds are pushed away by the wind higher up. The roaring waterfall now breathes light, sprays mist, and lives life with a rainbow flight.

Photography: Engage that long lens, emphasize the colors and lines.
Watch how the polarizer affects it. Can you tell?

From Experience to Art is a journey of a photography artist ready to spend time thinking, contemplating, trying editing, failing, and also associating the image with feelings when you were out there... It's never perfect, just like in nature, just like our lives... yet it is with all imperfections!

Standing here in Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park in the blowing mountain wind, I watched the blazing sun sink toward the horizon. Fluffy clouds rushed past one after another, while the larch trees stood like burning fires. The wind stirred turbulence on the lake’s surface.

On this day, it rained hard. We got a short window to hike in. Strong rain means murky water, so characteristic of the season here. The trees have curvy, artistic branches... and this rock face in the back brought the lovely igneous orange color out from the prominent black basalt of the Sahyadri.

Here I have some of my favorite experiences in the mountains, and the grand light show! From dramatic thunderstorms to golden alpenglow, fiery sunsets, and mystical aurora, every moment reveals nature's incredible artistry. Capturing diverse mountain lights is a journey of observation and wonder.

Silence in the Streams? ..Don't these creeks have a purely earthly ability to forget everything?

With the continuous running water, our mind stay still. You listen very closely, and every syllable comes to you. You stay there long enough, and syllables together become its song.

Every day around the world, magic happens somewhere. Moments like these, where I discover such magic, further my belief in not chasing, but discovering my own.

My idea was to find and photograph the coast with the flowers. The location of some flowers and compositions did not attract as much attention as the light. Let's not forget pictures are memories of what we see and experience.
