I have been doing some shooting around in Riyadh lately, and have got a few snaps to show for my efforts. At the risk of sounding vain, here is one that I especially like. It's magical the way the sun rays find their way through the cloud and shine through..A writer in Readers Digest once called this phenomenon the "fingers of God". I wouldn't know about that, but it seems a little preposterous to ascribe such beauty to just a cosmic explosion that took place eons ago..
Other news
It's been a time for milestones- Mac's World turned one, and it's been a year or so since Phoenix arose from the ashes. And I have a milestone of sorts too. Everyman's Diary has now become a 100 posts old. Of course if you count the first version of Everyman's Diary it would amount to much more than 100, but that's ok. Sometimes I think that taking almost 3 years for just a 100 posts is too long, but then i just dont have enough of spunk in me to blog more frequently than once a fortnight or so. I am not going to turn all senti here, but there is one person without whom, this blog would have taken a longer time in coming. My princess set up this blog for me, when I once complained of rediff causing me one headache too many. She doesnt blog too much nowadays, but she's my patron saint. Thank you princess!! And of course, thanks for droppin by once too often :-)

@All of you - Am glad you liked the snap, but I just had to point and click (Yes, I am quite modest, I am :-D)Credit goes to the Builder.
@Mac- I dont have good equipment either..hell, i dont KNOW what good equipment would mean..I saw, I liked, I pointed, and I clicked!
@3inone- It sure is an inspiring shot, wonder what a suitable caption would hv been
@Riaan - But surely, 100 posts must mean something!

Into each life some light must fall

lets give this another shot...
...stopped by after our yahoo chat. was happy that i did when i saw the snap - would have hated missing it... and the text that goes with it.
then read on... don't know what to say. other than thank you.
very, very, few people have managed to make me feel special ... and you seem to manage it effortlessly.
the fact that you remembered and thought to mention me, means a lot.
hugs.
and yup, will start bloggin soon.
You didnt get that title from a very old readers digest story, now did you? Hows life there dude! How have you been?
Hey, I know this comes rather late in the day, but I must say this. That is an awesome snap!!! Couldnt be better.
Glad to hear that Princess will resume blogging soon.
