Trip to Nai'riyah

Taken from the car while returning from Nai'riyah last Friday. The camel herder was rounding up his camels in the evening light for the long walk home.

Cloudscape

Clouds en route to Delhi on the Jet shuttle from Calcutta on 14th June 2013. Bad weather over Delhi made us return to Lucknow and I was wondering whether we will have time to get on board my connection to Dammam.

A wet day at the airport

14 June 2013

Taken at the new Calcutta Airport Terminal 2 while waiting for the Jet shuttle to Delhi. It had rained heavily the day before and it was raining when I arrived at the airport.

This is an Air India aircraft being pushed back from the aerobridge for takeoff.

Gotcha!

Orange-red Lily

An orange red lily in bloom in the terrace garden.

Somehow I have a feeling that the Leica designed glass of the Lumix 14-45mm Vario handles colors better than either Nikon or Canon glass.

In bloom

The Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AFD at 80mm and f2.8 has converted the grey concrete flooring into a smooth grey background!

And finally. . . Rain!

After almost 2 days of feeling like being in an oven, the squall that hit Calcutta today afternoon has managed to reduce temperatures quite effectively.
