Snooker table under wraps:
An ageing colonial club

Fans whirling,
Snooker table under wraps:
An ageing colonial club

Asleep on warm ground
Dog beside a man,
Enjoying a siesta

This wonderfully coloured fish was swimming about in a fish tank in the lobby of a hotel in Gulbarga on Karnataka (India). It illustrates the immense variety of the natural colourings of animal life, which rivals the many attempts of artists to produce original creations
A creature of God’s making
Colourful:
Nature’s original art

Standing alone
With pipes attach’d:
Man’s ingenuity realis’d

Eyes and scales, also gills,
Swimming no longer:
Ready for the platter

Playing the piano
At the lake side,
Awaiting the setting sun

Seize the opportunity
One door leads to another:
Paths of life
Picture taken in Hyderabad, India

The wonder of water:
It reflects the truth
And sometimes distorts it
Chowmollah Palace in Hyderabad

A needle passing
From one hand to another:
A fine cloth created
This craftsman in Bangalore (India) is weaving gold thread on to stretched cloth to create elaborate patterns: ‘zari’ work.

Hidden below a seat
Waiting for what?
Feline seeking company?
