Flowers under a blue sky

Taken with the Panasonic G1 with the 14-45 mm Panasonic kit lens on my trip to Calcutta. The Jarbera flowers were shot on the terrace of our residence in New Alipore.

Thankfully, the sky was deep blue as opposed to the usual grey !

Dammam-Dubai-Kolkata

Some photos from my recent trip home. Cramped seats, lousy food and an excruciating six hour layover at Dubai airport summed up the flight home.

Low light fun with the G1

Strong wind, rain and a damp 12 C evening. Not the representative weather in KSA in February.

I had a dinner invite and decided to lug along the Panasonic G1.
