Duomo

2005-04-02T21:04:00.000-08:00

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence, also known as Duomo, seen through the windows of Palazzo Vecchio (which, it turns out, is also known as Palazzo della Signoria...). I was going to post yet another Madison photo, but I thought this would be more appropriate given today's events.

Porch

2005-04-02T09:08:00.000-08:00

A photo from last fall, when I was still in Madison. A house on W. Washington, close to the Capitol, sometime in the evening.

Festive

2005-04-01T08:05:00.000-08:00

A tree with christmas decorations, in Sisiteron, France, Dec 2004. Sisteron is a tiny (and very pretty) town that we ran across on our road trip from Paris to Rome when we took a "shortcut."

Suitcase

2005-02-21T09:48:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the long delay between posts—have been busy at work. Also, haven't quite started photographing at my pre-California rate yet.

Evening

2005-02-08T22:23:00.000-08:00

A quiet sunset over a lake. Fond du Lac, July 2001.

Brugge

2005-02-06T10:57:00.000-08:00

I spent a chilly, foggy, wet day in Brugge in Jan 2004. It's a nice small fairy-tale town, about an hour's train ride from Brussels. I'd like to see it again sometime in better weather, preferably with a group of friends.

Imposing

2005-02-05T10:03:00.000-08:00

I'm starting to run out of titles for photos of trees at sunset. Maybe I should post less of them.

This photo was taken in Aug 2003, near the intersection on Babcock Drive and University Avenue, in Madison, Wisconsin.

Brussels

2005-01-15T10:33:00.000-08:00

Grand Place, Brussels. Jan 2004.

Keys

2005-01-14T08:44:00.000-08:00

I have never been able to decide who "they" refers to. The cars? The thieves? Someone else? Seen in North Vancouver (Lynn Canyon National Park), in August 2002.

Boat. Chicago. June 2003.

Pyramid

2005-01-09T00:00:00.000-08:00

TransAmerica Pyramid, in San Francisco. Photographed from the top of Telegraph Hill using a handheld camera, about four hours ago. The building reminds me of Ringworld.

Silhouette

2005-01-07T08:37:00.000-08:00

Taken at the same time and place as Photo #30 ("Sunset"). Madison, WI. Observatory drive.

Tree

2005-01-06T09:02:00.000-08:00

A very different tree from the ones I've featured here before. Alive and zestful instead of calm and tranquil. Somewhere on Bassett St. in Madison, WI; sometime in the fall. Sorry for the boringly generic title—I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Cranescape

2005-01-05T11:43:00.000-08:00

Park

2004-12-30T08:26:00.000-08:00

A small park near my house in Palo Alto (actually, the park itself is probably in Mountain View, since it's on the other side of a creek...).

Shops

2004-12-25T11:29:00.000-08:00

Vancouver, Canada, near the waterfront.

New York

2004-12-21T23:50:00.000-08:00

A random building in Manhattan... not sure which one, or where. Aug 2003, on a weekend trip to New York.

Green

2004-12-07T20:14:00.000-08:00

This one is similar to two photos I've posted earlier: Trees, on 30 Sep, and Tranquility, on 26th Sep. Both those themes are very evident here as well: A small grove of trees: very soothing, very beautiful...

Location: Niagara falls, USA.

Golden Gate

2004-12-05T14:21:00.000-08:00

The Golden Gate Bridge, to celebrate the first post after my move to California. I *still* don't have broadband at home, so posts here may be a little erratic for a while. But, I will try to post 2–3 times a week, at least.

Two Towers

2004-10-26T05:59:00.000-07:00

I will be moving to California this week, so posts here will be suspended for atleast two weeks, if not more. So, here are two photos for you to contemplate during these two weeks. The first is of Qutab Minar in New Delhi, which was built by Qutubuddin Aibak starting in 1199:

The second is a modern obelisk that I saw in San Diego, decorating the entrance to a movie theater/shopping mall in June 2003:

San Diego

2004-10-25T05:48:00.000-07:00

Malls in San Diego are open air! That's how confident they are about their weather...

(I notice that the quality of the photo on the website is much worse than what I see on my computer. Maybe I need to resize & sharpen the photos manually instead of depending on the blogging software to do it.)

Reflection

2004-10-24T07:54:00.000-07:00

MU pier, Lake mendota, at dusk. Madison, WI.

Sunny

2004-10-20T22:25:00.000-07:00

Warm and sunny days are coming to an end in Madison. I, however, will soon be moving to California!

(I'm actually not completely satisfied with the title of this photo—but I can't think of anything else at the moment. Feel free to post suggestions in the comments)

This photo was taken two blocks from my house, at the intersection of Bassett and Main.

Fall

2004-10-19T22:20:00.000-07:00

Fall is here! Well, fall has been here for a while, but I haven't posted any fall photos. So here's one. This was near the intersection of W.Washington and Broom.

Unexpected

2004-10-18T22:39:00.000-07:00

A belated entry to Photo Friday: Unexpected. This was taken in front of my house during a period of extensive construction.

Serene

2004-10-18T22:38:00.000-07:00

Continuing with my series of photos taken around sunset. Lake Mendota as seen from the Memorial Union terrace.

Palo Alto

2004-10-17T22:10:00.000-07:00

A photo from my recent trip to the bay area. This was in Palo Alto downtown, around sunset.

Sunset

2004-10-13T06:25:00.000-07:00

Sunset behind a tree. Observatory drive, Madison, Wisconsin. This is my 30th post here, which means I've managed to keep this up for a month. Yaaay!

Geometry

2004-10-13T06:19:00.000-07:00

Since I will away until the weekend, I'm posting multiple photos today. This one is an interesting juxtaposition of two buildings that I can see from my window at home.

Pigeons

2004-10-12T22:15:00.000-07:00

Pigeons on the pier. Lake Mendota, Memorial Union, Madison, Wisconsin. Click on the photo to see a larger version—it looks slightly better that way.

I will be away once again until the weekend, so no more posts till then.

Boldly Go

2004-10-11T22:59:00.000-07:00

To Boldly Go Where No Leaf has Gone Before...

A leaf (?) on a bench outside the capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin.

Change

2004-10-10T23:08:00.000-07:00

I like to play with my change.

Decrepit

2004-10-09T22:22:00.000-07:00

A wonderfully decrepit building in Amritsar, India, situated right opposite the entrance to the Golden Temple.

Plane

2004-10-08T23:32:00.000-07:00

A plane (Boeing 747, I think) and it's umbilical cord, seen through the terminal window. O'hare International Airport, Dec 2002.

Skylight

2004-10-08T09:45:00.000-07:00

I'm back from my trip to sunny California, and back to Madison. Today's photo is from our house in Delhi, looking straight up at a skylight (well... THE skylight, actually).

Branch

2004-10-04T06:26:00.000-07:00

A tree with its branches snaking around on the ground. It felt wonderful to be under it—because you were IN it without having to climb anything :-) This was on the campus of Texas A & M University, Feb 2003.

I will not be posting here for the next few days since I'm going out of town.

Gears

2004-10-02T22:27:00.000-07:00

A portion of the rear wheel of my bike. The picture is certainly not perfect… you can see my shoe rack in the background, and there are all the reflections of the flash of the metal… Still, I somehow like it.

Speed

2004-10-01T22:52:00.000-07:00

Reflections off the window of a metro train, somewhere in Brussels. The guy in the tie is my brother.

Posted in response to Photo Friday: Speed.

Cute

2004-09-30T23:02:00.000-07:00

Last Vancouver photo for a while. I saw these flowers in the conservatory at Queen Elizabeth Park. The park is one of the prettiest I've seen, and the conservatory is pretty good too (and has a lot of very colourful birds, plants, and fishes).

Trees

2004-09-29T22:08:00.000-07:00

I love photographing trees. All kinds of trees: big, small, tall, short, in groups or singly, dry, green, or colourful, in the "wild", in parks… I plan on posting many of my tree photos here in the coming weeks.

This photo is from Lynn Canyon Park in near Vancouver, Canada.

Bridge

2004-09-28T23:20:00.000-07:00

Another photo from Stanley Park. This one is also from the bike path, and I'm standing directly under Lions Gate Bridge, looking towards North Vancouver.

Dreamy

2004-09-28T08:17:00.000-07:00

Location: Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada, a little before sunset turned the sky orange. If you are ever in Vancouver, I highly recommend renting a bike and going around the bike path in the park. And, don't miss the sunset.
