World of colours

One of the most famous parks here, Lalbagh Botanical gardens, have this great tradition of organising for a flower show twice a year, generally held for a couple of weeks in Jan and a couple of weeks in Aug. The flower show is at the Glass House and attracts people in huge numbers. Its always a major attraction and there is always something new every year. One of the major attractions this time was a huge globe with 2 white doves and a heart-shaped ring, all made of roses.

Its not every year that I make it to the flower show, but this year decided to make it for the flower show this time and rightly found one of my colleagues agreed to accompany me. So we were there at 6 in the morning all set to capture the "world of colours" in our cameras. It was still so dark and for the first time got to see the Glass House completely lit up. Was indeed a sight in itself.

It was a very cold and misty morning and all our plans to capture the sunrise and some beautiful pics of the sun and the lake could just not materialise. The Sun decided to be very lazy and would not come out till 8 AM. So we just went click, click n click all around the lake taking loads of pictures of the birds, mist and the lake in general. There were some pictures in black n white and sepia which have indeed come out really well and gives a sense of nostalgia.

After all this it was time for us to enter the Glass House (which is generally open for the public only from 8AM onwards). It was a great sight to see so many flowers in all possible colours, shapes and sizes. It had already started to get crowded but still managed to take some good close-up pictures of the flowers.

The flower show is now over but still plan to visit Lalbagh to complete the task that was left unaccomplished .. take pictures of the sunrise.
