Normally, I like to write my little bit of stuff on photography, on the Fridays. However, today was largely a chaotic day.
So, I thought I would leave behind a little something.
The water body at the Deer Park, in New Delhi. It is close to where my mom lives. The deer have long gone.
The water body is said to have been built during the Lodi Empire, which puts it at about 550-600 years old.
Delhi is strange. Old Delhi is actually New Delhi.
New Delhi actually consists of two or more parts – Newest Delhi, Old Delhi and Oldest Delhi.
The Lodi Empire predates the Mughal Empire…. So, the Walled City, which is called Old Delhi is newer than many parts of New Delhi….
Anyway…. I hope you like this photograph

Had to read this a couple of times to get Delhi’s time context! Love the vibrant colours of this shot.
Well, I am glad you like the shot..
I have been mulling a post on Delhi for a long time. Maybe, I will make it a trilogy
Great colours 🙂 & Textures…Great photo!
Thank you!
Now…. can you write a poem on it?

And, you did a marvellous one!
Glad you liked it….It was a fantastic writing prompt 🙂

The colour is amazing, Rajiv. Now can you do a black and white of it?

Aha! Ahead of you there, Leslie! Already did it, and scheduled it for Tuesday, Monochrome Madness!
That should be most interesting to see.
Thanks Rajiv.

Meanwhile, if you want to read a superb poem that I have loved since my childhood, then you must read my post tomorrow….
The poem is appropriate for tomorrow, since it is our Independence Day,,
I’ll be there Rajiv.

I like the photo – and your “Delhi descriptions”. Such a confusion of new and old can only be amazing.
Yeah.. I have been mulling over writing a post on Delhi. Maybe, I will make it a trilogy
amazing PP

Unseen Ravi and Rajiv did a great Job

Cool. I like the photos. One small comment – the horizon is crooked.
Yeah… I forgot to straighten it!
Lovely composition
Well, thank you!

Great pic! Amazing edit, absolutely captures the serenity…..and the pictures get even more impactful by knowing the little history behind them, thank you for sharing☺
Thank you! Glad you like it!
You are welcome☺
Stunning beauty, I love the the idea of “Deer Park”. It’s lovely.
Oh yeah. I used to go and play there when I was a kid!
Very, very nice. And I don’t think I’ve said how much I like your new page.
Well, thank you very much, Di! I am glad you like it!
Such a great shot! The colours and glow grab me .. As does the wood poking skyward
I am glad you like it! Tomorrow, i have a B&W version going up!
oh no…the deers have gone??it was my haunt for 5 years of my life…every morning…
Ah! It was my haunt too!
Glad You stopped that history lesson. I did not know whether I was standing or sitting! I had to check! Haha! 🙂
But the Colours simply GORGEOUS, my Dear Rajiv! What a Wonderful capture!
And, the ‘sketches/doodles’ accompanying Your ‘Mongrel Growling,’ they must be Yours! You are Really a Very Good Artist, my Dear Rajiv! In more ways than one. Hearty Kudos. 🙂
Thank you, Swami ji.
But that logo was designed by a graphic artist….
Okay. 🙂
