Logan Diaries : Bear Lake

I am thinking of posting more B/Ws ( not that I don't do them often, but I am going to make an effort to have more B/Ws in this stream)
Please feel free to talk about the composition, conversion, presentation and how you would think the photograph could have benefitted if presentation in a different way ( now that I have already composed it)

Thanks in Advance...

Christmas Parents...

I spent the Christmas Eve of 2007 with them at their lovely house near Glasgow in Scotland... The same warmth, the same affection, the same love as my house would have...

Looks like God makes parents exactly the same way everywhere !!!

Death is...

being wrapped around in thoughts you can never get out of !!!

Bed of Roses ( or not so)

Life for the flower vendors in Chandni Chawk, Old Delhi is not easy for sure... Every morning they have a fresh lot of flowers that needs to go by the time market gets over ( about 0800 hrs)... This market starts around 0400 every morning...

What is refreshing and surprising though, is the fact that smiles don't leave their faces even though the days usually start with a lot of hardships...

Let the smiles stay !!!

Mummified

Read more about Mummies here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy#Ancient_Egypt

I am not really sure about the significance of a small mummy-like statue on the actual one... Do share in case you know more about it...

View from the Goodman Park, Marrinete County in Wisconsin... We did not know we had to reach here, but we did and I happy to have clicked a few landscapes.
