Dood’s Photo of the Day

Originally clicked and uploaded by – Pratosh Dwivedi – 18th Dec’07

I took this foto today evening, just when the sun was going to set behind the magnificent volcano in Puebla – Popocatepetl. The view was so much eye catching, that in the first glance itself I knew this is going to be the image of the day.

The volcano stands in all its majesty overlooking the scarcely populated city of Puebla. Its magnanimity creates varying thoughts in my mind – often of completely opposite nature. Sometimes it makes me feel so diminished and non-existent in front of itself & sometimes it inspires me to be like it … stand so tall that everyone just wonders – WTF.

I took this photo in the evening, outside my office. I was thinking about capturing this for a long time now, but since cameras are not allowed inside the Volkswagen plant, I was a bit hesitant to exercise my photography skills.

Daily in the evening, just about the time i start from office, there is this conglomeration of birds returning to their nests. There are hundreds of them, flocking the 10 odd trees in the office premises. They are flying in from all directions with chirping so loud as to be mistaken for a symphony. Their loud and continuous chirping creates such a magical atmosphere that it relieves you of all the tiredness and tension of the day. You feel like just standing there and enjoying the sweet musical show of mother nature.
