The window with a view


 Recently we spent some time in Himachal Pradesh in India. One place in particular is very high on our list of favourites, Mashobra. 

There were days filled with warmth and sunshine and then there were the cold, wet and windy days. 

And the rainy days were ones that I spent at my favourite spot at the window, watching the valley below. Hours when I could just relax and unwind for there seemed to be no rush to go anywhere. 

I could also indulge in my passion for photography and even though I've probably clicked this same spot and view below at least fifty times, I've no regrets.

For I've enjoyed myself thoroughly each time I've done so.

My Window With a View 




The view on a rainy day

 

So here they are, two of my current favourite shots- my window seat and the view that I looked at . Am fairly sure you will like them too! 

The magnificent Royal Opera House, Muscat

The Royal Opera House, Muscat (ROHM) was inaugurated by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said last October and in his inaugural speech, he outlined his vision for the same. The essence of what he said can be simplified to mean that since Oman had played a significant role in various cultural fields in the past, it was now time for it to cap that rich march by adopting the concepts of international culture and by effective contribution to its promotion. To that end, it will be the ROHM that will showcase Oman’s creative and cultural heritage and provide Oman with a gateway to the international arena in the very real sense.







We've been lucky enough to visit the Opera House on more than one ocassion- the first, for a  wonderful show featuring the Whirling Dervishes and a more recent 'Open House'. On each of these ocassions, we've been struck by the excellence and detailing thats gone into making this place the superb piece of architectural  and cultural hub that its meant to be.

Here's a very real recommendation- do check it out folks,  at the very next opportunity that you get. Its truly one of those places that will stay in your mind and heart forever!

Re-visiting my Blog on St. Patricks Day

Its been a while since I blogged,so I just decided to re-visit this one.

No particular reason, but just the determination to be more regular than I've been in the last few months. 



Twilight Hues



Looking through the various photographs I've clicked and posted over the last three odd years, these are just some that caught my immediate fancy.
