Read MoreEvery space tells a story. There is something very attractive about these three white roses that sat quietly and elegantly afar from things around it.
Read MoreThe majestic marble quarries of the Apuan Alps have operated since the days of ancient Rome. I like how these worn tires were being used as a barrier. Without a person next to it, I would have little perspective as to how massive these tires were.
Read MoreLike the human, every tree is unique and beautiful in its way. The form of these bare trees reminds me of Shiva as Nataraja, gracefully performing Tandava, the cosmic dance which both creates and destroys the universe.
Read MoreNature has most certainly made its mark on these poles and cones. I like how unintentionally they stood there, radiating beauty and serenity that only comes with age.

Read MoreWinter in Arashiyama is quite colorless and I find it pretty refreshing to see these three primary colors brighten up the surrounding. If you take a closer look, it's color blocking with a modern twist - a mini red dino-themed excavator. Now, try picturing a skillful construction worker operating it.
