Reflections of Trees in the Pond


As the golden sunlight filtered through the lush canopy of trees, casting a magical glow over the serene pond, nature unveiled its captivating artistry. The stillness of the water mirrored the world above, creating a breathtaking canvas of reflection photography. 

Amidst the tranquil surroundings, a cluster of tall, majestic trees stood tall on the pond's edge. Their branches reached towards the sky, adorned with vibrant green leaves that danced to the rhythm of the gentle breeze. The trees seemed to guard the secrets held within the depths of the water, a gateway to another dimension. 

With the camera in hand, I embarked on a journey to capture the enchanting symphony of nature's reflection. Each step brought me closer to the water's edge, where I sought to unveil the hidden beauty that lay beneath the surface. 

As I peered into the pond, the calmness of the water revealed a perfect mirror image of the towering trees. The reflection appeared like a painter's masterpiece, with every intricate detail flawlessly reproduced. The interplay of light and shadow, the delicate contours of the branches, and the vivid hues of the leaves all came alive in the watery reflection. 

The trees seemed to defy gravity, suspended both above and below, creating a surreal world where reality and illusion merged seamlessly. The symmetrical composition of the reflection mesmerized my senses, drawing me into a realm of tranquillity and wonder. 

With each click of the camera shutter, I immortalized these captivating moments. The stillness of the pond allowed me to capture the essence of nature's reflection photography. Each photograph preserved a unique narrative, an intimate dialogue between the trees and their watery counterparts.

As the day transitioned into dusk, the colours transformed, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. The reflection took on a new allure, as if nature had dipped its brush into a palette of dreams. The beauty of the scene intensified, leaving me in awe of nature's artistry.

In the presence of such ethereal beauty, I marvelled at the profound symbolism within these reflections. They reminded me of the interconnectedness of all things, the delicate balance between the seen and unseen. The trees and their mirrored reflections spoke of unity, of the endless cycle of life, and the boundless beauty that nature bestows upon us. 

As I bid farewell to the pond and its mesmerizing reflections, I carried with me a profound sense of gratitude. The experience of capturing nature's reflection photography was a gentle reminder of the extraordinary world we inhabit and the endless wonders waiting to be discovered. 

In the days to come, whenever I look back at those photographs, the images of the trees and their reflections will transport me back to that tranquil oasis. They will serve as a testament to the timeless beauty that lies within nature's reflections and inspire me to seek the extraordinary in the ordinary, forever capturing the magic that surrounds us.

A Father-Daughter Adventure on Two Wheels

It’s a hot summer in Mumbai this year, with the heat wave clocking the temperature to 45 degrees Celsius. However, the promise of an adventure on a long weekend made the heat more bearable. On 20th May 2024, Election Day in Mumbai, we had to fulfil our civic duty by voting, so we decided to escape the city for a short ride on Sunday, 19 th May 2024. Our destination was Sinchian Lake, 74 km away. This was going to be a special trip, as it was my daughter Heer’s first long ride on a motorcycle with me without her mother. Gearing Up All geared up with riding jackets, helmets, elbow guards, knee guards, and gloves, we left at 4:00 p.m. to avoid the harshest heat. The Google map showed 74 km and 1hr 47 mins to Sinchian Lake in Maharashtra's Saphale, Palghar district. My only concern was Heer may feel sleepy during the ride, so we carried a Bluetooth speaker since she loves music. The Journey Begins   The journey began, and Heer was filled with excitement. We cruised at a comforta...

One Ride, Many Stories - My Solo Ride to Trimbakeshwar

A Journey with Metgezel It had been a long time since I embarked on a solo bike trip with "Metgezel," my trusty Bajaj Avenger Cruiser. The name Metgezel —Dutch for "companion"—perfectly captures the bond between a rider and their bike.  The day of the ride was special—it was Guru Nanak Jayanti and Kartik Purnima, although I only learned about their significance after reaching Trimbakeshwar. But before diving into the spiritual aspect, let me take you through the adventure.   The Day Before the Ride Every biker knows a long ride isn’t just about waking up and hitting the road. It’s a ritual to get ready with the riding gear—jacket, gloves, helmet, knee pads, and shoes—felt like a warrior's armour. My daughter, amused by my preparations, asked, “Pappa, whose wedding are you going to?” She missed the earlier scene where I was lovingly cleaning Metgezel!   The Departure: Mumbai to Jawhar Winter mornings make it tempting to stay in bed, but excitement nudged me u...

The Road Trip to Kutch, Gujarat

When boys are planning a road trip, the first image that comes to mind is often from the movie "Dil Chahta Hai." Ahh,   that’s for the bachelors. When married men plan a trip, it's more like "Biwi Kya Chahti Hai." 😉 If you're married, you've probably been in the same boat as we three were when we were planning our epic road trip to Kutch. Here's a photo of us three, posing at Khari Bet - from left to right: Brijesh, Nilay and Nikhil. We intentionally chose weekdays for our adventure to ensure empty roads and fewer crowds at the places we intended to visit. The journey began from Mumbai on a sunny Monday morning, with my trusty companion, a Hyundai i20. Day 1: From Mumbai to Samakhiali  We departed from Mumbai early in the morning, embarking on a drive of over 700 km, until we reached Samakhiali. Our overnight stay was at a Jain Temple, which, as it turned out, was a great choice for a comfortable rest stop. If you're planning to stay en ro...
