Battle of Britain monument on Thames riverfront

Bronze monument

Stumbled upon this beautifully executed bronze monument of Battle of Britain (WWII) on the Thames riverfront. The monument was conceived by Bill Bond, founder of the Battle of Britain Historical Society and sculpted by Paul Day. The casting was done by Morris Singer, which is the oldest established fine art foundry in the world. This picture, which is part of the monument, shows airmen scrambling for their aircraft during the battle. (London, 2017)

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)
