Cows on our street

Cows let loose by owners to fend for themselves feed on roadside grass patch and edible garbage and stray out into our street, posing a traffic hazard for passing vehicles on OMR, Chennai. Road. Accident in which speeding buses knock out a passing cow is not uncommon.

Amateur and an athlete

I am an amateur, my camera is basic, and I attempted an action shot. I couldn't click fast enough as she was running towards us; and I was taken unaware as she sprinted past me on her home run. This, then, was the best of the shots I could get. Photo taken on Radhakrishnan Ave., Mysore.

It's school time

A typical scene I see on morning walks in our Mysore neighbourhood. That it is school time is apparent from the girls in uniform. Took this photo on Narayana Shastri Road.
