from the skies

Met some friends recently, to look at their travel photos, and realized that photos from the skies, of the blue skies, white clouds, water bodies and land masses below, can be really beautiful. It is not that I was never aware of the skies while on the plane, but you do tend to neglect the beauty of things around you when you see it often enough. I do remember once, where the dusk was portrayed in a multi-coloured skyline, with hues of dark purple, to light blue, light yellow and orange. The clouds were also partially coloured by this, and the entire image was breath-taking. But I was not equipped with a camera on that trip, so no photo evidence available.

On my recent trip back from Changzhou to Singapore (via Shanghai), I took a couple of photos just to remind myself that it is alright to appreciate small things amidst doing routine work.


These are probably not the most scenic of views I had seen before, but it is a start. And the work trip to Changzhou opened my eyes (even more) about China. But that ... will be in another post.
