~At the end~, a photo from Himachal Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

Walking over. Shopping over. Rains too reduced to drizzles on the Kasauli hills. Back to the guesthouse she wanted to remain all by herself. Sitting alone in the balcony with a book spread out before her she seems to hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations with the backdrop of pines and wild flowers. Perhaps thinking that reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more importantly it finds homes for us everywhere. Who loves a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. Just by reading she perhaps planned to innocently divert and pleasantly entertain herself in all weathers, in all thinkings, in all chains of fortunes.

I quietly took her in my frame while she was deeply engrossed.

Hi Partha Da,
Your series is like a novel which leads us to some junctions before reaching the ultimate destination. In previous picture we could see your model from back but in this one we can see her face from side. Note toh marvelous hai yaar.

Great series...

Please continue your story

Partha.

And finally, the curtains have come down..!!
A glimpse of the BLUE ... and I think, again, you played the "invisible man"...

I sense, the fragrance of love in your frame..

Have a nice day, dear friend..

Can we expect another FIRE from you?

Sorry but I am missing the point here. According to the TE rules, which part of the world are you talking about or trying to show us?

Great note and "relaxing" photo... I agree that reading books is helping to travel, in the mind of the writer, sometimes in time and in space...

Unfortunately, a previous writer, "ribeiroantonio" has not understood that the young lady here is on holiday and is enjoying a rest on the terrace of a hotel, although you have clearly written it in the beginning of your text ; we are so much in a hurry, some of us just look briefly at the photo without trying to understand.

This is a good mood photo, and I can feel the fresh air from the pine trees reaching my cheeks...

TFS,
Cath.
(NB : I'll add it to my theme if you don't mind ; we don't see so many photos of the middle class on this site and I think this is also another aspect of your great country !)

Dear Parthada
I have a strong feeling I know her..only in photographs, but yes I do know her. The angle is good, but perhaps a bit to the right would have been better. A very mood shot
Regards
