A hazy grey - green which changes to a bright blue with the leaves coming into focus as the sun rises . This is my favourite time of the day ..
AG 's favourite bit of the lake :-
After the walk we went for a drive around Kolkata and landed up at the Victoria Memorial . The old lady looked quite elegant in the early morning light . So did the statuary around the place..jpg)

After traversing the length of Kolkata we dropped into Saurashtra Namkeen at the corner of Southern Avenue and Lansdowne, for a packet of phuchkas . Tinkers luck - because he had run out of the stuff.So we made do with chaat papri and had dahi papri for breakfast . After that it was sheer drudgery - studying Physics and Bio with Tani for her exam. sigh.

EL This post brings back sooo many memories, almost a lump in my throat. Landsdowne Road, Victoria Memorial, puchkas, Dahi papri--too many. Been a really long time since I visited Cal. Wish I had a jolly good reason to come.
btw, where was the header photo taken? Lovely pic
My hand, my beads, my photo. Macro shot. At home, held under a lampshade. Assuming reference is to present header photo.
well Opaline, the phot's great--so colourful. But actually when I had asked, it was about the earlier header.
Fig-ured. =)
It is so impossible to get out of the blanket in the morning in winter! Kudos to thee.
lovely pictures. Note to myself: Must make a trip to cal in winter.
Onedia - Thanks . I liked your blog too and your daughter's .
Sue- Wait till I get to Park Street& New Market - you'll cry !
Opaline - choop kor
Elendil - Try it ,the air's so crisp - like a freshly roasted papad or yesterday's nimki at your local mishtanna bhandar!
Usha - do do come. We shall take you around the best photoshopped areas !
Great photos. Found you from Onedia's blog. Will have to explore.
Gorgeous pictures! Just back from a flying visit to Cal myself and I think I walked past this lake too. Is it the Dhakuria one near Southern Avenue? We even saw a water snake zipping along! And of course got 'blessed' by a bird.
