Time for another Silent Sunday! Every week, I’ll put up a picture that would ask you, my dear visitor, to give me a perspective instead. Feel free to drop in a line about the picture. Wish you a great new week ahead!
Praha, Revisited
My brother gifted me a new prime lens, and I was trying to check the clarity and amount of details the images can produce. This particular fridge magnet is an embossed representation of the Charles bridge at Prague. The kit lens makes the image look flat, but with this one, the shot comes to life,…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Simple
In Mumbai Local trains, you can pull the chain to raise an alarm at the train stops at the next closest railway station. As simple as this seems, it most often than never doesn’t work.
