Chitrakoot Falls

The Chitrakoot Falls (alternative spelling Chitrakut) (Hindi: चित्रकोट जलप्रपात) is a waterfall located near Jagdalpur, in Bastar district in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh on the Indravati River. The height of the falls is about 29 metres (95 ft). The breadth of the waterfall varies, as the water level in the river goes down drastically during summer. However during a monsoon, the river flow touches both the banks of the river, and is filled with silt. In contrast, during summer the water carries no silt and looks different. The area around the falls is largely forested.

^{It is also called the Indian Niagara.}

Angel Water Fall

At fifteen times the height of Niagara Falls , Angel Falls is the highest in the world. Just how tall is it? How did it get its name? Did someone seriously BASE jump from the top? 

Angel Falls is the world highest waterfall, with a height of 979 meters (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 meters (2,647 ft)

It is located in the Canaima National Park , an UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State , Venezuela . It is one of the countrytop tourist destinations despite its isolated location

Did you know the height of the falls is so great, that before getting anywhere near the ground, the water is atomized by the strong winds and turned into mist? The mist can be felt a mile (1.6 km) away!

The base of the falls feeds into the Kerep River (alternatively known as the Rio Gauya), which flows into the Churun River , a tributary of the Carrao River

Apparently, the falls were not known to the outside world until American aviator Jimmie Angel flew over them on November 16, 1933 during a flight searching for a valuable ore bed. Returning on October 9, 1937, Angel tried to land his Flamingo monoplane, El Rio Caroni atop the mountain, but the plane was damaged when the wheels sank into the marshy ground. He and his three companions, including his wife Marie, were then forced to descend the mountain on foot. It took them 11 days to make their way back to civilization, but news of their adventure spread, and the waterfall was named Angel Falls in his honor. Angel plane remained on top of the mountaintop for 33 years before being lifted out by helicopter. It was restored at the Aviation Museum in Maracay and now sits outdoors on the front of the airport at Ciudad Bolà var.

Indira Gandhi aka Daughter of India

Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi (Hindi: इंदिरा प्रियदर्शिनी गांधी Indirā Priyadarśinī Gāndhī; née: Nehru; 19 November 1917 – 31 October 1984) was the Prime Minister of the Republic of India for three consecutive terms from 1966 to 1977 and for a fourth term from 1980 until her assassination in 1984, a total of fifteen years. She was India's first and to date, only female prime minister. She is the world's all time longest serving female Prime Minister.

She was a true daughter of the country, brought up and his people and his father, who was the first Prime Minister of India after years of British rule. Cover of TIME magazine soon after its election in January of 1966 reads: "The poor of India in women's hands." These hand held India in the next decades through many tests: an economic downturn, famine, India's first test of an atomic bomb, civil war in neighboring Pakistan, and education (with Indira), a new state - Bangladesh.

Light Painting

Light painting, also known as light drawing or light graffiti is a photographic technique in which exposures are made usually at night or in a darkened room by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera. In many cases the light source itself does not have to appear in the image. The term light painting also encompasses images lit from outside the frame with hand-held light sources. The first known photographer to use this technique was Man Ray in his series "Space Writing".

In this picture, i've used a moving vehicle, a truck which was passing by.

Un - Illusion

I dont mean this image to be an optical illusion, i just want to show how a small piece of glass can capture and reflect u some big things, like this one, where i've captures the sun rise through a rear view mirror of my bike. See thinks beyond imagination, u'll get some good pictures, which u wont believe that they do occur.
Here the sun appear to be close but it isn't, its millions of miles away from us, as we all know this fact. So this very heavenly object is not a close as it appears.
 

Early Hour

This is the time period which is awaited by many of us, the animals, the birds, every one on the planet. It brings the sun into the sky, making all other stars and moon to disappear for the next 12 hrs. This time period is a bit cool, compared to the rest of the day, the cold breeze, the sweet sweet songs by the birds on the trees, wooooh, just awesome.

To experience this phase of the day, u need to get up early, earlier then the sun rises, lol, yes its true. do experience it once, then see urself, u'll fall in love with nature.

Clouds

Clouds are so fascinating to see, some times they look like a huge teddy bear up in the sky, some times they look like the smoke of a huge nuclear explosion, and some times tooooo colorful, mostly white in color but when nature get rough, the white color transforms into dark blue or black even.

They protect us from the direct sun light, they carry rain and pour it on to  thirsty earth after the hot summers.

Come, lets feel the cold with in these mighty, mammoth colorful clouds, through my photography. 

Solar System

The Solar System consists of the Sun and those celestial objects bound to it by gravity, all of which were formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun, most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic plane. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the terrestrial planets, are primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets, the gas giants, are substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn, are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are composed largely of ices, such as water, ammonia and methane, and are often referred to separately as "ice giants".

The human eye is the smallest thing in which every thing fits perfectly, it catches the highest definition image, no other artificial lens has such a capability like the human eye. Keep it clean and safe guard it against all kind of dust and foreign particles, please take care of ur eyes.

The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors.

The dimensions differ among adults by only one or two millimeters. The vertical measure, generally less than the horizontal distance, is about 24 mm among adults, at birth about 16–17 mm. (about 0.65 inch) The eyeball grows rapidly, increasing to 22.5–23 mm (approx. 0.89 in) by the age of three years. From then to age 13, the eye attains its full size. The volume is 6.5 ml (0.4 cu. in.) and the weight is 7.5 g. (0.25 oz.)
