The threads can be of our experiences, our thoughts, our feelings etc etc and what comes out is the cloth of one's self...

The National Monument in Edinburgh is a memorial to those who died in Napoleonic Wars and is located on the top of Carlton Hill. It was supposed to be a replica of Parthenon, however due to lack of funds only one side of the construction was completed.

I don't quite believe it !!!

Seen here is the sky from Loch Ness, arguably the most popular lake in Scotland and maybe the world as well because of the tales of Nesse, the dragon. A day tour of the beautiful country of Scotland is incomplete without a visit and the ferry ride in Loch Ness.

What looks distorted might be picture perfect... what is needed is the right point of view !!!




p.s. The Word Anamorph is from the Greek Ana(again) and morphe(form). It refers to a distorted image that can only be formed again with the aid of a curved mirror (Anamorphoscope).

Seen here is an Anamorph from one of the best galleries I have ever been to, Camera Obscura, Edinburgh, Scotland...

He is the lead drummer of the scottish band Clanadonia... Me and Abhishek were walking around in Edinburgh (Queen's Mile) when the sounds from the drums and pipes of Clanadonia made us figure out what was happening. The next 30 minutes were more than what my words can justify. Please do visit their site and listen to a few samples. I feel good to have a CD of their performance. Something that peps me up without fail every time I listen to it...

Manchester, the home to Man-U and Man-City Football Clubs is more like a city of castles and larger than life buildings... Walking around the town was very similar to how I feel when I walk in the BBD Bagh area of Calcutta...
