The Best of 2011 - Part 6

Looks like I wouldn't have a quiet ending to the year. It's been a really long and hectic day; but here are my top 10 picks apart from the ones that I've already posted. Some of them almost made it to you favourites but probably missed out because of the late year-ending submission. The others, well, at least I like them and now may be even you would.

So enjoy my picks; and in no particular order.

Scavenger Hunt - Week 11th December

This post is for the Scavenger Hunt - Week 11th December. The five submissions were for Less is More, Holiday Lights, Ornaments, Cup of Cheer and Nativity.

Here is my interpretation and entry for the Scavenger Hunt.

1. Less is More

Two tents in no man's land at the Himalayas! This was en-route to Rohtang Pass that connects the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.

2. Holiday Lights

Taken at the 2009 Kuala Lumpur Lantern Festival at China Town, Petaling Street.

3. Ornaments

May not really be ornaments but can go down out here. Taken at the Po Lin Monastery at Lantau Island, Hong Kong

4. Cup of Cheer

During a journey on a highway when temperatures were low, a little coffee break did wonders.

5. Nativity

During Ganesh Chaturthi, India

Scavenger Hunt - Week 20th November

This post is for the Scavenger Hunt - Week 20th November. The five submissions were for Mainly One Colour, Around the Home, Reflection, Writing and Water.

Here is my interpretation and entry for the Scavenger Hunt.

1. Mainly One Colour
Blue - This shot is of the iconic London Eye, which truly is a spectacle at night.This shot was at twilight which is why I managed to get the blue lighting, blue pods and the blue sky.

2. Around the Home
Fire Extinguisher - Needless to say, but this is must have for every home.

3. Reflection

The Hammersmith Bridge, London - This is a very old suspension bridge that connects the borough of Hammersmith and Barnes. The reflections are seen in River Thames that flows in London.

4. Writing

Just a candid black-and-white shot!

5. Water

Mauritius - This is one place that I've seen to have the cleanest and clearest waters (Indian Ocean). While most of the times the crystal clear water appears blue/green, this one occasion it went dark grey because of a little storm around the corner.
