A photo from the archives... shot this during the vacation in India.

We were on our way to a famous temple which is in a very remote location. There were lots of villages on the route and for us, the city dwellers, it was like another world. Everything was so simple and accessible... people were so good and welcoming... the air was so fresh... we even spotted some "wild" animals roaming about... it was simply an unforgettable experience.

Hope you all had a great start to the new year!

Here's saying goodbye to a very eventful year.

Wishing you all a very happy, prosperous, peaceful and healthy new year 2012!

Welcome 2012!

Yet another set of shots from the trip to Isle Of Wight.

Alum Bay is a bay near the westernmost point of the Isle of Wight, England, within sight of the Needles. Of geological interest and a tourist attraction, the bay is noted for its multi-coloured sand cliffs (22 different colors!).

The Needles is a row of three distinctive stacks of chalk that rise out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, England, close to Alum Bay. The Needles lighthouse stands at the end of the formation. Built in 1859, it has been automated since 1994.

The formation takes its name from the former fourth needle-shaped pillar called Lot's Wife that used to stand in its midst until it collapsed in a storm in 1764. The remaining rocks are all short and squat and not at all needle-like, but the name has stuck.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week 52 of 2011!
