A trash can and wooden bench - Fine Art America

A trash can and wooden bench - Fine Art America
A trash can and wooden bench - Fine Art America
A small grassy place near a resort, with a row of trees bounding it one end, the trees not being too tall though. Right at the treeline, there is a trash can (or rubbish can if you so prefer). Right next to that is a wooden bench, and although it is not very clear, there is a wooden bench behind that bench as well, on the other side of the row of trees that have been lopped off. It seems convenient to have a trash can right next to the bench, since if you are having something to eat while sitting on this bench, then you can drop empty packages or wrappers or cans or anything else that you want to dispose off.
There is a lovely lawn right in front of the bench, with a nice layer of rich green grass.
If you like this image and want a print of this image or want the image on some household items such as clocks or napkins or other such options, you can buy it from my Fine Art America store, where you also have a chance to view my other images.

3 young children on a cycle - Prints on Fine Art America

3 young children on a cycle - Prints on Fine Art America
3 young children on a cycle - Prints on Fine Art America
3 young children on a cycle on a road in rural India. This is not exactly the road, more like the side of a modern highway, some distance away where it is more dirt and loose mud. This is a highway passing through a part of rural India where you can see farms and fields, with a standing crop in the distance. Those crops are actually sugarcane, given that this part of India is predominantly famous for sugarcane and sugar production.
People here are more frugal, so 3 children on a cycle is nothing out of the ordinary - the eldest being the one who is actually doing the cycling while one sits on the barrier behind and another one sits on the front bar. Being winter, all of them are wearing warm clothing.

Visitors inside the Shalimar Garden - Prints on Fine Art America

Visitors inside the Shalimar Garden - Prints on Fine Art America
Visitors inside the Shalimar Garden - Prints on Fine Art America
The Shalimar Gardens in Srinagar, on the banks of the Dal Lake are very beautiful. The garden has been divided into several terraces to account for the gentle slope of the hill on which it has been created. At the time we went, the water channel was being repaired, but even with that, it was very beautiful. The Shalimar Garden is a very beautiful garden located on the right bank of the Dal Lake in Srinagar, the capital of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is one of the famous gardens on the banks of the Dal Lake, located on the slope of a mountain. The garden is supposed to have existed from historical times, but became very famous when it was adopted by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in 1619, built for his wife Nur Jahan. As a result, the garden (along with other gardens) are called Mughal Gardens. Jahangir was so enamored with Kashmir that he spent a large amount of time over here, using Srinagar as a summer capital for his empire. Over a period of time, the garden was extended and electrified. It is one of the high points of the tourist attractions in the city of Srinagar.
The gardens are supposed to be based on a layout called Persian Gardens. However, these gardens were supposed to be built on flat surfaces, while the Shalimar Garden was built on a hill, and hence the garden was split into 3 terraces. The garden covers an area of 31 acres and also provides a great view of the Dal Lake. Running through the center of the Shalimar Garden is a 12 m wide canal that carried water through the garden and flows into the Dal Lake. The garden is full of greenery, with some very beautiful trees.
If you like this image and want a print of this wonderful garden, please buy from my Fine Art America store, and also check out my other images / art.

Cut tree trunks piled up for further processing after logging - Prints on Fine Art America

Cut tree trunks piled up for further processing after logging - Prints on Fine Art America
Cut tree trunks piled up for further processing after logging in a small area, not commercial logging. This was on the shore of a lake near a mountain, where the slope of the mountain had a number of trees on it, and there was a systematic but scientific method of logging that ensured that the place could be logged again and again. However, it still seems painful to see so many tree trunks lying in a pile.

A playing pen for children in the small back garden of a resort, with the white posts of a fence visible in the background. These are simple equipment that can be set into any level place, such as in this case where a small green area with grass can be suitable for setting up such an equipment. So there is a small square where balls and other playing stuff can be added along with toddlers who can fit into the square. In addition, you have a small swing for small children, and a small slide from a raised area where children can congregate and slide down.

Glacier down the mountain in Sonmarg - Facebook post
The glacier sliding down the slope of a mountain near Sonmarg in Kashmir in North India. This is during the month of April when the ice and snow have started melting and road clearing has started. However, there are many such locations where these rivers of ice exist, they will vanish in another month leaving behind only traces that there was so much ice. Looks beautiful and some of them were used for sledding.

Also available on Facebook at this link.

Beautiful print of the ice and snow of Sonmarg. http://bit.ly/1E4VDKl

Sonamarg is very beautiful, both in winter and summer (although getting here in the depth of winter can be pretty difficult because of the ice covering the roads).

A young rhino sleeping near its mother in the Delhi zoo. Rhinos can be protective of their area, but not necessarily aggressive unless they feel threatened, but they are wild animals and hence if you are near them, you need to be careful. Rhinos can be pretty big, upto a ton in weight, and are herbivores. Rhinos are also a threatened species, being hunted for their horns. Poachers try to trap rhinos, hack away their horns, and then leave them to die, causing immense harm to the viability of the species. #Rhino

A resort on the outskirts of Rishikesh - Facebook post
A resort on the outskirts of Rishikesh, in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand. These resorts, with their permanent tents, on concrete bases, make for a confortable stay. During summer, the weather here is more comfortable, and it gets bracing during the onset of winter. Good to go here in a group. Not seen in the photo, but most of these resorts are near the shores of small mountain streams, since that gives the place a great presence and makes it much more attractive for visitors. However, there is a danger that with sudden rains, these shallow streams collect a huge amount of water and overflow quickly.  #Rishikesh

Baby orangutans in the Singapore Zoo, trawling on the side of the net. These orangutans have their exhibit near the starting point of the circular trail of the zoo, and with a net hanging on the tree. These orangutans are one of the major attractions of the zoo, especially when visitors come inside the zoo, get near the starting point of the battery cars inside the zoo. The orangutans also form part of an attraction inside the Singapore Zoo called 'Breakfast with the Orangutans'. This show can be busy sometimes, so if you want you or your kids to enjoy the show, you might want to check out the booking much in advance (we tried to book 2 weeks in advance, but was unavailable on the day we wanted).

A beautiful fern and the large leaves of this plant. Of course, I am not even sure whether this is a fern or some other kind of plant, so if you know whether this is a fern or not, please provide that information in a comment with my thanks. This is an abstract image, trying to convert the photo into more of a painting or atleast an abstract form. The plant does not look real beautiful, with the green color almost shining.

Wide street and pavement in Rome - Prints on Saatchiart

Wide street and pavement in Rome - Prints on Saatchiart
Wide street and pavement in Rome - Prints on Saatchiart
Rain on the streets of Rome, but does not seem to disturb this couple who are talking and walking on the pavement. The rain does not seem to have disturbed the 2 wheelers on the stretch, but a lot of other vehicles (both four wheelers and two wheelers) parked on the sides of the road. This seems to be like a fall season, since the trees visible on the sides of the road are all leafless. One striking part of the image is the size of the pavement, almost the same width as the road, which helps given the large number of tourists who walk about the Immortal city.

Dusk at the harbour - Print by Saatchiart

Dusk at the harbour - Print by Saatchiart
A view of sailboats at the pier. These sailboats provide a lot of pleasure to the owners, since during the day, going out on the lake with the sailboat is a way of relaxation, to get some time off. But at night, when light on the lake is almost gone, and when winds are very much reduced, and most of the owners would be asleep, these sailboats are all at rest. It gives a nice picture, with the masts, the sails having been brought down, all in a row. The reflection, in the low night, but with the water still a bit wavy, gives a nice picture.

Foggy winter morning - Prints on Saatchiart

Foggy winter morning - Prints on Saatchiart
Foggy winter morning - Prints on Saatchiart 
A foggy winter morning, with mist obscuring the details in the distance. This is at a heritage site (most likely Machu Picchu), where a group of visitors are climbing up an ancient stone paved path, the years having caused damage to the path with the setting between the stones having become uneven, and in some cases, the stones themselves have come off and are no longer to be seen. This is high on the hillside, and cold and damp are a constant presence, leading to a large amount of moss everywhere. This site witnesses a huge number of visitors every year, and is very popular on the tourist circuit.

The closed gate - Prints at Saatchiart

The closed gate - Prints at Saatchiart
The closed gate - Prints at Saatchiart
A sign that winter is here. This is a path in a nature path, with the path being a dirt track, and constant vehicle tracks that have made an impression in the rough path, compressing the earth and becoming a hard path that all other vehicles now have to follow. With the onset of fog, visibility gets reduced, such as in this case where the gate (closed) in the distance along the track is not so clearly visible, you need to focus on the image to see it. On both sides are these bushes, that spread to larger trees, both to the sides and in the distance. It is a nice place, but unless you are an admirer of nature, there is really nothing for you to do.

Sloping red roofs - Prints on Saatchiart

Sloping red roofs - Prints on Saatchiart
Sloping red roofs - Prints on Saatchiart
Barn and houses on the shore of a river or lake. The striking feature of these structures are their roofs - a striking orange red color, visible from long distances because of the bright nature of the colors. The house is close enough to the edge of the water that any flooding is likely to impact the house with water certainly ready to enter into these structures, and if the barn is used for animals or for storage of feed or farm produce, there is a need to keep a watch out for rainy weather, either here or upstream to ensure quick action is taken in the case of any kind of flooding.

Section of cut oranges - Saatchiart
Section of cut oranges - Prints at Saatchiart 
Oranges can be very orange in their color, and it is a color that spans the gamut of yellow and orange; it can be almost a pale yellow (you might not want to eat an orange that is pale yellow inside) all the way to a very bright orange color. The color of the skin may not be anywhere as orange as the inside, such as in this case. The orange have been cut in the middle to get two halves, exposing the fleshy insides and the pips in the center (seeds actually). The little bit of skin visible is nowhere near being as orange as the inside, which is a bright orange color, accentuated by a bit of filter work in a software application such as Photoshop.

A beach in the Indian Ocean islands of Seychelles (and given the lovely beaches and tropical climate, one call also call it Paradise). With tropical weather, there is a chance of rains ever so often, and the weather can get cloudy pretty quickly, and go back to being clear also pretty quickly. However, when there are clouds, given the clear horizon and lack of urban clutter, you can get a great view of clouds to the horizon, with these clouds looking spectacular. Add in some extra effects inserted in through a software program such as Photoshop, and these clouds and the overall landscape can look spectacular.

Dearly departed - Symbolic abstract art on Saatchiart 
This flower slowly decaying under pressure of some gravel is symbolic of death and departing. Everybody goes eventually, and hopefully when anybody goes, they are surrounded by loved ones. This is a photograph converted into a painting. There is a kind of finalism associated with symbols around death, a validation of the 'from dust to dust' statement. We all come, and we all have to go, the question is about what kind of mark we leave on this land.

River running through Interlaken - Fine Art America Print
Interlaken is a beautiful town in Switzerland, that serves as the base for those who want to visit the mountain resort of Jungfrau. It is beautiful by itself and has this river (Aare river) running through it, looking even more beautiful in this abstract image.

Near Interlaken, the river first expands into Lake Brienz, and then moves to Lake Thun. The river flows through a series of twists and turns over its long journey, and for more details, you can view this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aare.

Parasailing high in the sky - Fine Art America

Parasailing high in the sky - Fine Art America
Parasailing high in the sky - Fine Art America
Ever since the invention and stabilization of the parachute, man has wanted to fly high in the sky, like the birds that soar high. In this abstract image, one can see just the parasail high in the sky with a cloud behind it. With the winds being right, one can go for long trips in the sky with the wind helping to stay afloat for longer periods, and with an experienced pilot, one does not go off course. Of course, there is a slight amount of danger, however, this reduces significantly if one is flying with experienced operators who follow the rule book and take all safety precautions. With these parasails being made of mostly brightly colored color, they look good.

An abstract image of a sunflower in the home garden. Sunflowers are incredible for a garden, with their large size and beautiful looks, they make the entire garden perk up and look alive and also draw bees and other insects to the garden. In fact, by adding sunflowers to your garden, you can increase the health and spread of your garden since sunflowers draw bees, which in turn leads to much increased pollination in your garden. Some sunflowers remain small, while others become much much larger, almost as big as the palm.

An abstract type image of a tree near the shore of a lake. There is a lake in the background, not too large, since the distant end can be seen. It is almost sunset, with the orange and gold colors on the horizon making a beautiful band that sort of separates the image into 2 separate layers. This place seems like a park kind of situation, on the shore of the lake, since a road is visible on the right side of an image along with a person doing some sort of exercise.

A side section of the outside of the temple of Hatshepsut; the temple looks magnificent when you see it from the front. The temple is for one of the few female pharaoh (although everyone only thinks of Cleopatra when you mention female pharaoh).#Hatshepsutfew female The temple is dedicated to the the God Amun and to the pharaoh. The temple is a grand construction, with three layered terraces, reaching a height of 29.5 meters tall. There were many sculptures of the pharaoh here, but many of them were destroyed by her successor and stepson Thutmose III after she died.

Taking the sled to the top in Sonmarg - Kashmir

Taking the sled to the top in Sonmarg - Kashmir
Taking the sled to the top in Sonmarg - Kashmir
Pulling a sled to the top of a rise in Sonamarg in Kashmir. As the ice starts melting in late-March and April, roads leading to Sonmarg can be cleared of the ice and tourists start heading there, the sport of ice sledding starts taking off, on a small scale. Local people get these wooden sleds and invited tourists to take a trip down a small slope on these sleds, and it can be a lot of fun. #Sonmarg 

Beautiful print of the ice and snow of Sonmarg.http://bit.ly/1E4VDKl

Sonamarg is very beautiful, both in winter and summer (although getting here in the depth of winter can be pretty difficult because of the ice covering the roads).

Along the water in Belgium - Saatchiart

Along the water in Belgium
Along the water in Belgium
A view of buildings while on a water cruise in Belgium. Going on such cruises provides a way to see all the surroundings near a river or some other water body while not having to move from vehicle to vehicle, or get stuck in traffic. You are in a boat, enjoying the movement on the water stream, along with many other visitors. These buildings look magnificent, with the sloping roofs that are visible for older buildings in the area. The image has been converted into a sort of digital painting, using software tools such as Photoshop and others.

Boat full of visitors in Belgium - Saatchiart 
A boat full of visitors on a river tour in Belgium. Tourism is a great economic factor in the progress of a region, since it provides the local economy boost through the boost to local hotels and lodging, shops, the food and drinks industry, as well as those who act as guides to the tourists. The river tours are a big draw here, since they let tourists travel on a easy circuit, avoiding road traffic and getting a view of the architecture and other attractions on the route. Most cities that have rivers or other such water streams passing through their cities or other tourist draws develop the facilities that allow river tourism to attract a number of tourists.

Cottage Surrounded By Water - Fine Art America

Cottage Surrounded By Water - Fine Art America
Cottage Surrounded By Water - Fine Art America
Resorts are places where we go to have a vacation, go to enjoy ourselves. In most cases, the expectation is that these are places which are full of natural (or manmade landscaped beauty). In the image above, it seems like that this is a place where the cottages of the resort are surrounded by a natural meandering stream, and surrounded by an outer layer of trees and shrubs, a natural thicket. The view of the cottage shows a normal cottage, not a fancy building, but in many cases, this is by design with the outer surface presenting a normal look, but fancy inside.

This is a typical village or rural kind of environment where you have the houses in a central area surrounded by fields spreading outwards, demarcated by different ownership. The crops are not very tall, maybe some kind of cereal, with the yellow tinge due to flowering of the crops.

The stone mark in Jallianwala Bagh, marking the spot from where soldiers fired on protesters in 1919
The stone mark in Jallianwala Bagh, marking the spot from where soldiers fired on protesters in 1919. It was one of the most controversial incidents of the Indian struggle for Independence, where a demonstration by people (men and women alike) in a park were fired at by a British Indian army regiment, ordered by a British commander. This firing on unarmed protesters, without any warning, in a park where there were no outlets led to the death of hundreds, the firing only stopped when the armyment ran out of ammunition. #JallianwalaBagh #Dyer
