All my loving ....

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you;
Remember I'll always be true.

And then while I'm away,

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing.
And hope that my dreams will come true.

All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving, darling I'll be true.

On the other side of the river Vltava is Prazsky Hrad: The biggest ancient castle in the world.

Also visible in the background is the Charles Bridge. There is a modern legend saying that the foundation stone of the bridge was laid in 1357 on the 7th day of the 9th month at 5:31 AM and that Charles IV chose this time so that when one writes out the opening time, they write the sequence of odd numbers, 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1.

Crimson Tide

Violent waves and a tranquil sunset

It was a failed experiment actually - I arrived a little late for the photographs. And the amount of sunlight was terribly low. The exposure required to capture the fading sun in the background was so long that the water drops in the foreground stopped appearing granular. I planned to make another trip to try the same shoot and get better results - but I simply could not make time for it during my short stint in Mumbai. Now that I have left Mumbai and I am not sure about the next opportunity I will get for shooting such a picture - I am therefore putting the best fotos from that late evening photo-shoot here
