"There was rain today
And crystal blue was hidden by a cloudy gray
A sudden shower come to chase the sun away
Occasional rain

Damn the weatherman
He seems to work against me any way he can
And he’s been dealing tear-drops since the world began
And occasional pain

And blue you, don’t believe I’m talking to you
The light is shining through you- still you will not see
Blue you- think I’m trying to undo you
When I only want to seek the Truth
And speak true

I can’t tell you when
But someday soon we’ll see the sun re-born again
And there’ll be light without as well as light within
And occasional rain"

"Occasional Rain" - Terry Callier, 1972





Someone I knew inspired photography. The startling images captured often made me wonder if I could do it too?

I'm not much into technicality, simply because I don't understand it. My captures are mostly not great (in fact I would call them mediocre at best, even though I hate mediocrity in any form!) but I've learned a lot from my co-Flickrs, they always make me want to do better.

Some of my captures are documentation of my trips that I like to share with my friends who may not have been there yet or who lives in other countries and may not ever be able to visit these places.

While others are pure passion. I can never get tired of capturing birds and wild animals with my camera. My greatest love though remains the Himalayas, I want to keep going back till I never need to return.
