Olympic fever?

Seen outside a grocery store. Preperations for the Beijing olympics seem to be in full swing

Light

The fluorescent light does save a lot of energy compared to the incandescent light bulb that Edison initially dreamed up. Once I fiddled with the exposure settings a bit, I was immensely pleased with the picture. There is something in the way a twisted piece of glass gives off light that invites you into its luminescent coils.

The incandescent light bulb - an energy hog, yet a testament to a thousand experiments that were aimed at illuminating people's lives. Edison truly made the night longer with this invention.

Neon

A prominent Neon sign glows with the twilight sky as a backdrop. This picture has an eerie quality to it, in spite of it being in wide open public spaces.

NH 47

National Highway 47, between Ernakulam and Thrissur. Technically, according to international standards, this is a one lane road. But Indians don't believe in wasting any resources, which means that this road occasionally becomes a four lane road, and on very rare occasions, it becomes a three lane road, all three going in the same direction. If you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere else in the world.

Ambassador

Kerala, as seen from the window of an Ambassador. For those who know the Ambassador, no additional explanation is needed. For those who don't, no words can capture the feeling.

Airplane Advisory

The contrast between the glossy finish of the decal and the textured seat back of this airline sight grabbed my attention. It also made me wonder if anyone actually reads this, though they definitely see it.

Lamp

Although this picture is obviously of a lamp mounted on a wall, I cannot get the word 'sentinel' out of my head when I look at it. The lamp itself is beautifully created with a wrought iron frame and glass panels.

Glazed

I took this picture of one tile among thousands on a wall of a swimming pool area. The level of detail that goes into making a single tile is amazing; though each tile seems inconsequential in itself, it lends to the beauty of the bigger picture. Something like humans I guess.

Pneumatics

These air tanks, valves and cylinders in this picture are part of a machine that I built. Air in a bottle never looked more beautiful to me.
