Bridge Across the River Arno
This river runs through the centre of Florence. The day was sunny and bright when we visited. There were colourful buildings to be seen alongside the river. Florence is a picturesque city. It was a nice day to explore.

Sree Ayyappa Temple in Vasai
Sree Ayyappa Temple is built in the style of Kerala temple architecture. The roof is covered with red clay tiles. There is a tall kodimaram (flagstaff) in front of the temple. On festival days, the outside walls of the temple are lit up using many small oil lamps. The temple was consecrated in 1995.

Clock in Museum d’Orsay
It is a beautiful clock. It has a solid look with intricate designs around it. It is placed in a large open area, at one end of a sculpture gallery. The area is full of natural light.

Hibiscus Beneath a Coconut Tree
The Hibiscus was beautiful. It was in the shade of a coconut tree and had a bright, vibrant colour. I had to catch the exact shade of red in the photo. And the focus and light had to be perfect.
The photo was featured in Flickr Explore on 10 December. Please click here to view my photos in Flickr’s Explore pages.
Location
I came across the Hibiscus in Vasai, a suburb of Mumbai. Many parts of Vasai fall under coastal regulation zone and are out of bounds for development.
Camera Info
I used my Sony Xperia ZR camera. It focuses really close and its small lens and sensor give more depth of field than a large camera. The big screen of Sony Xperia ZR is easier to see than the viewfinder of a camera.

Radiance After Sunset
There was a nice warm glow in the sky. The colours were wonderful and subtle. There were low clouds which had taken on a pink colour from the light radiated by the sun. The waters in the fields were tinted by the sky.
Location
The photo was captured on the outskirts of Mumbai, in Vasai which has Bassein Creek to the north and Tungari Hills to the east. Many parts of Vasai fall under coastal regulation zone and are out of bounds for development.
Technical Data
I used a narrow aperture of f/7.1. ISO speed was 200. An exposure time of 1/160 sec. was used. Focal length was 18 mm. Camera is Canon EOS 550D.
