Lovely pictures Sigma.
Well captured shots, these are real treasures of any trip. I likes the innocent boy.
Typo..liked not likes :-)
Please nominate some Indian treasures for
new seven natural wonders . My nominations are Sundarbans and Himalayas.
I think that flower is called cinquefoil, but am not sure. Lovely pics.

@Mridula: Thanks!
@Pijush: Yes .... what you carry away from these trips are the experience, the memories.
Re new seven natural wonders: Did you read about how the selection of the new seven wonders was just a huge publicity stunt? Check out on wikipedia, and on the net. I saw the link you have given, and I'm afraid that this is another effort to cash on the craze we have just witnessed.
@Mamatha: Welcome to my blog, and thanks for the info. But I looked for photos of cinequefoil on the net, and they didn't look like this? Perhaps there are many varieties of the flower, and I didnt find most of them.
Yes you are right on the point cash on the craze. But if any Indian Natural resource is promoted by means of this effort, its a gain for us, isnt it!!
Great that you decided to share also these pictures. They surely deserve to be seen. Great job!
Sigma, I think the yellow flower is a Buttercup...
@Pijush: You are right: If our heritage is promoted by these efforts, it would be advantageous. But the question is, do they really make more popular the nominated monuments, resources etc? Take the case of Taj - one of the "new 7 wonders" - do you really believe that this "competition" would have made Taj more popular than it was before? It is an object of beauty, widely acknowledged throughout the world; those who didn't know of it earlier are hardly likely to come to know of it by means of the cotest (in fact I think that such people would hardly be connected to the internet to even know of the contest).
But having said that, I'll still do my bit - hope is what one lives on, isn't it :-)
@Gil: Thanks. I'll be sharing some more pictures from Dharamsala. And then I'll move to pics from Agra - Taj and Agra fort :-)
@Shilpa: Thanks for your response. But I wonder if buttercups really do grow in India?
beautiful pictures... loved that kid's snap...
I deleted my own two comments. Sorry for the clutter sigma.Kept hitting publish before I finished commenting.
What I wanted to say was that Buttercups are from the Ranunculus family and do grow in India. They are not native to India but are found.
Anita found white buttercups in Valley of Flowers
WoW...You saved the best of the best pics for the finale...Simply Amazing!
Lovely pics - kid is super cute :) and yeah that flower has come out just neat !!
Having said that...whats up !! Are you in hiding...!!
Tk care ~
@Prashanth: Thank you so much!
@Shilpa: Thanks for the info!
@Kalyan: Thanks a lot!
@BTR: Thanks! I am trying to come out of the "hinding" ;-)
