~FreeBirD®~'s photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Born Traveler, Traveling places, living life and rest in love with mother nature .. remaining things that prevail in my life are my camera, my motorbike and my close ones..

I believe in life, I want to share the places I travel and want to take each one of my gallery visitors to that place through my pictures. I believe it is incomplete to share my pictures if they do not give you a feel of being present at that place and make you feel the emotions that picture has.

Bringing India to the world from a perspective of traveler who go places with almost very limited time in hand and touches everyplace he can. So far, Himalayas, and deserts of India only.

As of now its London and the rest of Europe.(2008 onwards)

Some more of the flicks on the flickr can be seen on ~M~

"I've just been through ~FreeBirD®~'s stream again, on a trip to the Mighty Himalayas, and into his world. All i can to say is that his passion for those mountains, for his bike, for travelling, and for life can be seen and felt on every photograph that he takes, and every word that he writes. In this world of ours, where single thought and materialistic concerns have sadly become the norm, i can only come to the conclusion that such "free birds" are precious!"

"Every day I get on Flickr I make a point of coming to Mani's photostream. I leave what is the humdrum of my local world and get to come into a place of majesty and grandeur that ~FreeBirD~ has shown through his artistry and composition. It always leaves me with a warmth and happiness.

There are times too, when it leaves me a bit jealous: Oh! to be able to ride and explore and photograph that places and events he does, makes me yearn to get out and explore the places that are close to me; and that is really the meaning of a true artist.

Mani, thanks for all the great images."

"Hallo freebird !
I am Giannis from Greece , and we are friends :)
When i was a kid (10 years ago) I believed that the best thing a man could do in his life was to travel. I use to dream of India a lot of times ...
i didn't want to stay in fancy hotels , i just wanted to see as many things as possible from a close distance. What scares me the most is that growing up i stopped having these dreams . It's like i betrayed my self.
I live in a city and whenever l travel someplace I can't stand a lot of days away from my piano....This scares me.
In other words i don't feel free.
That 's why I like your photos.I like your enthusiasm to travel , and when I see your photostream i feel that maybe the same enthusiasm will come back to me . I am spending to much time with things that don't fill my soul.
Thank you for reminding me some important things"
