This was taken at sunset in Switzerland. Watching the mountains bathed in sunlight was truly an amazing sight.
This was also taken in Switzerland on a cloudy and rainy evening. As streaks of sunlight broke through the clouds and onto the landscape below, I was strongly reminded of how ‘every cloud has a silver lining’. So no matter how cloudy or rainy things get sometimes, sunlight will still break through!
The ruins of the Roman Colosseum in Vatican City. Close inspection sent shudders through me as I could not help but wonder the fate that met many gladiators here. This picture is shot at the service area surrounding the Colosseum. We were told that these were the tunnels through which the animals and the gladiators entered the arena. One can only wonder what hopes and dreams may have died at the end of these tunnels. There are many such spaces present even today. I hope that some day, these too will come to an end.
Kids are amazing! There was a small pyramid within the Louvre in Paris. Some kids immediately started scaling this in the hope to reach ‘great heights’. When one fell the next would attempt. At some point they were even helping each other hang on. They really gave a whole other meaning to enthusiasm, teamwork and motivation! 🙂
The Trevi fountain in Rome. There is a belief that it is a wishing fountain. Among many other hopefuls, here is another youngster tossing a coin in the hope that all his dreams and wishes come true! 🙂
