Sunday Stills : Centuries Old

54 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “OBJECTS OVER 100 YEARS OLD” and I’ve got a perfect set of pictures for it!
Famous for its historical ruins, and considered to be one of India’s many haunted locations – Bhangarh, India (established in 1573) is an embodiment of age-long history and yesteryear. Once a town alive with people like you and me, it is now a land of relics, reminding us of an era of princely states and regal existence. From grand courtyards, abundant riches and effusive lifestyle to a wreckage that’s long forgotten, this town sermonizes the imprint of “time and tide!”
From witnessing the past to now becoming a “historical site” – Well, nothing indeed escapes the wrath of continuance!

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “LAZY DAYS” and nothing in the world beats the “laziness” that a beach offers! Pristine shores, revitalizing cool waters, gorgeous sunsets and a “passive” ME! *ah, beach-life*
Presenting to y’all my version of a modest, uncluttered, lazy life that includes just a plain T-shirt, a pair of shorts and bare-feet!

Sunday Stills : Drunk With

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “DRUNK WITH” and surprisingly (in all honesty) I had a bucked-load of pictures to choose from in this genre! *hides face*
Ignoring all the photos that I wasn’t really proud of (for obvious reasons), I present to y’all my “drunk with” session with Mr. Jack at the famous Jack Daniel’s Distillery! An experience to cherish and treasure – This place is a must-visit for anyone with an appreciation for the World’s No 1 American Whiskey and all things Southern.

Sampling In Session – After touring the distillery, you’ll head to the tasting room in historic Barrelhouse 1-14 and taste whiskey drawn from individual barrels, an honor that was once reserved exclusively for the distillers and tasters!

Sunday Stills : Macro Shots

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “MACRO SHOTS” and in all honesty I must confess that I consider myself a novice when it comes to “photographic” skills – where I am still learning the art of getting the “right shot” especially when it comes to “macros!” Nevertheless, here are a few of the macro-shots experiments done at the Memphis Zoo with my winged friends as subjects.

Sunday Stills : Wind

41 Comments

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “WIND” and even though I am an avid photographer, I somehow couldn’t find anything worthwhile in my “vault of pictures”, until I stumbled across some “windy” photos of “Lung ta” aka the Tibetan Prayer Flags from my trip to Bir Billing.
Traditionally, these prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom and do not carry prayers to Gods, which is a common misconception. It is believed, that by hanging these flags in high places, the “Lung ta” – under the effect of “wind”, carries the blessings and mantras depicted on the flags to all beings, far and wide –  spreading good will, benevolence and compassion into all-pervading space. *ah! serenity*

iScriblr_wind
Conventionally, prayer flags come in sets of five – one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order – blue, white, red, green, and yellow.

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful. HAPPY FRIYAY!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day and another exciting prompt. Thank God for this, I miss WPC a little less!

This week’s theme is “SUMMER” and to be honest, I really ain’t that big a fan of the scorching sun and high temperatures, especially since the weather has been super treacherous where I live! *sighs*
For me a “perfect” summer is all about having a wonderful day at the beach – with pristine shores, revitalizing cool waters and gorgeous sunsets! *ah, beach-life* Presenting to you all some “summery” photos of me at my favorite place this SUMMER!

Sunday Stills : Tourist

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day and another exciting prompt. Thank God for this, I miss WPC a little less!

This week’s theme is “TOURIST” and in all honesty, I have been guilty of being a “perfect” tourist all my life! Yes, I have been one of the exasperating ones, who’ll click pictures wherever and whenever – not wanting to miss a “photogenic” opportunity! (Sadly, this involves my Huz too, who doesn’t have much of a choice left!) *hides face* Presenting to you all some “photographic memories” of US being “touristy” from our trip to Chicago. Also, please know that this post will be an overload of pictures – you now know why!

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day and another exciting prompt!

This week’s theme is “TWIN” and I am shamelessly almost a week late in posting this. (Well, almost!) To begin with, I was a little doubtful about likableness of “twin” pictures on me un-till I remembered of my visit to the Memphis Zoo a while back. Voila!!! Presenting to y’all some “twin” pictures from my “photographic” vault, of our “furred and feathered” friends basking in the glory of  sun.

Sun bathing!
