Beyond the Aravalli Hills* by theurbannexus
Through a beautiful sculpted Hindu archway, I gaze over the Aravalli Hills that litter the Rajasthani landscape. The hills stretch approximately 560 km from northeast to southwest Rajasthan, and then continue as isolated hills and ridges into the state of Haryana (formerly part of the state of Punjab) and near Delhi. The highest point is on Mt Abu, and is known as Guru Shikar. It rises 5653 feet (1.72 km). The hill range is further divided into the Sambhar-Sirohi and the Sambhar-Khetri ranges. The peaks of the Aravalli Hills are famous for their white peaks, formed not by snow, but by large masses of rose coloured quartz. / __ Dedicated to Marnie Kaur Sidhu, a friend who helped me through picking a new domain/flickr name (and helped me name a business in the past) :) / : at Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Close to heaven by James Godber
This view, of the mountain and prayer flags, taken at Ganden monastery in Tibet was magical. The air was thin and the walking tough, but it was worth it. SOLD: One Framed Print to the lovely Sal. Thank you Sal!

Trash? by Elaine Li
I sent this photo to Think Great Awards 2008, and was 1st Runner up in the senior section of Best Photo Awards. :) / (http://www.englishbuilder.hk/site/ThinkGreat/winners.html) “In the society we live in, many underprivileged people are forgotten or ignored by us (the pedestrians). They are marginalized and, symbolically in a way, dumped to the fringes of society like trash. Fringe dwellers are so elusive in our society that we almost see them as invisible, much like how the old lady’s attires are camouflaged by the garbage bags. The garbage bags somehow seem to be her “Invisibility cloak”. People’s ignorance to the underprivileged is a prevalent social issue. This old woman, most likely to be in her late 60’s, is surrounded by not only rubbish bags, but also uninterested pedestrians. The reasons for her actions are yet to be revealed, but on this cold winter’s day (note that this was shot in December), she would most likely have been searching for clothes or food. As they say, one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure. The contents of the rubbish bags may not be needed by others, but to her, they are vital things for survival.”

Sadhu, Nepal by Emma Clark-Kennedy
Durbar Square, Kathmandu. A Sadhu takes a couple of moments to feed the pigeons. The red of the building and of the Sadhu’s clothing contrasted with the grey of the pigeons beautifully. I loved the serenity of this moment.

Kick it to me by Louise Cooke
Kata Beach, Phuket. This shot encapsulates my overall impression of thai people – fun loving, friendly people who get pleasure from simple things. It was such a treat to watch them at play.

The Nilgiris - Dawn by Vikram Franklin
OK – not quite what taken at Dawn – I couldn’t get up in time (my excuse – this was over the New Year and I’m certain I wouldn’t have been able to focus straight had I got up at the crack of dawn on New Year morning) Just processed one similar to the other one of this view to try and get it to as close to what it would have looked 4 hours before I woke up! As I saw it the previous morning (while my batteries were charging)
