Best of Abhiram

Here are some photos of my son, Abhiram. Whole of last year, I haven't travelled much. The reason being him. So, the only photo-op for me was him.

These are just a small bit of the photos I have.

Igatpuri

I had been to Igatpuri a few weeks back, it was one of the best monsoon trips i've had, it was refreshing and beautiful.. here are some snaps.

Ratnagiri & Ganpatiphule

Hey Guys,

This time around I went to Ratnagiri & Ganpatiphule. It was just another midnight ride from Mumbai thru Ghats. The inside road from Ratnagiri to ganpatiphule is amazing, you cross a bridge over the backwaters and then ascend a hill, by beach on the side as you go up the swirling road, its beautiful. And on our way back from Ganpatiphule to Ratnagiri, we left Ganpatiphule at around midnight. We took a different route now, it was thru "haathKamba". this road from there to Ratnagiri in the middle of the night was amazing, flat roads, no civilization in sight, clear starry sky, pitch dark, cool summer nights. amazing..

Anyways, as you might see I took very few pictures.. thats because this time around, I wanted to enjoy the beach rather than sitting and take snaps. ( i have done that enough on beaches now :) )

so, here's are the few snaps..

copy - paste from wikipedia.

Ratnāgiri (Marathi: रत्नागिरी) is a port city on the Arabian Sea coast in Ratnagiri district^[1] in the southwestern part of Maharashtra, India. The district is a part ofKonkan.

The Sahyadri mountains border Ratnagiri to the east. Heavy rainfall results in highly eroded landscape in the coastal region, but fertile alluvial valleys in the region produce abundant rice, coconuts, cashew nuts, and fruits, "Hāpus" (Alphonso) mangoes being one of the main fruits. Fishing is an important industry in Ratnagiri.

A few illustrious Indians, including "Lokmānya" Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a prime leader in the nation's freedom movement in the British Raj days; Bharat Ratna"Maharshi" Dhondo Keshav Karve, a social reformer and educationist; and Wrangler Raghunath Purushottam Paranjpe, a mathematician and educationist, were born in Ratnagiri or its vicinity.

Vintage Car Rally.. Dec 2010 - Mumbai

Hi all,

I'd been to a vintage car rally after long, so, I kept my photography skills aside, and clicked like I have never seen these beauties before. :) .. so theres no "photography" involved, just plain old point & shoot.
