Hand of the gods

I am trying, nay forcing, myself to see things a little differently. I even went to the extent of cooking myself a new adage that goes on something like this: If you see things differently, you'll see different things. And, that largely describes the way I'm teaching myself photography: by opening up my eyes to things that other people are too busy to see.

Clicked here is the pic of the wooden struts of a temple I must have passed a hundred thousand times, without taking a moment to marvel at its beauty. One night, after dropping off my friend, I took a longer route through the ancient palace complex. Then as of in invitation fine droplets of rain started to make its way from the heaven. I looked up as I unfolded my umbrella and I sat there for a moment being mesmerized what I saw. I hurried for my camera, and the rest, as they say, is written in images and words. Camera: Canon S3 IS.
