Giant Buddha statue at Thimphu

Buddha Dordenma statue at Thimphu, Bhutan

The 51.5 meters bronze statue of Gautam Buddha at Thimphu, Bhutan is an imposing structure. It cannot be visualized without seeing it in real life. It was crafted in China and brought to Bhutan in distinct pieces to be assembled at site.

While the structure is imposing with the necessary grandeur, I doubt if this comes close to the serenity of Buddha which can be experienced in several monasteries.

Fathoming the Sky and beyond

Fathoming the Sky and beyond Many years ago, I went to Delhi from Mumbai on the 6 am flight of East West Airlines. There were only 12 passengers in that Boeing 737 I suppose. That day I realised what an experience it is to see the rising sun through the clouds. The colours start changing gradually and each moment is lived differently. The best part is that none of the colours are loud. They are all subtle, deep and meaningful. Beckon you to explore. In perfect solitude.

Changing colours of the leaves from the morning walk

Pictures from the morning walk today As the winter recedes, one can see several changes around. The leaves start changing their colours and ultimately they take a bow. There is this tree near our place which throws up spectacular transition of colours around this time each year. Happened to pick up some nice pictures today morning. (shot on Fujifilm X100V)
