The creek looked amazing. The sun was setting. The cloudless sky was reflected on the creek. It had taken on a smooth silvered appearance.
Location
I came across the scene in Vasai, Maharashtra. There were few trees to be seen. The land was covered in tall green grass.
Camera Data
The camera is Canon PowerShot S110. Aperture was f/8.0. ISO was selected as 80. Focal length was 5.2 mm.
The scene gave a wonderful sense of space. There was the mountain in the far distance. Dark clouds covered the sky. A few buildings can be seen below the mountain. The birds in foreground catch the eye.
Location
The location is Vasai near Mumbai. There are several abandoned salt fields in the area. Probably because of salt content in the soil, trees are seen few and far between.
Exif Data

It was a great trip up to the mountains by cable car. The view was lovely. The point of view takes you towards the snow-covered slopes of Mount Titlis. The cable cars passed between fir trees and above a green meadow. There were a couple of cottages down below and a few Swiss cows too. We could hear the cow bells tingle. The scenery quickly transformed itself as the cable cars climbed to Titlis glacier where deep snow covered the landscape.
Location
The cable car ride is from Engelberg to Mount Titlis. The ride is in two stages. In the first stage, we were in small cars which could seat six. Later we changed over to big Rotair cars for the final ascent.
Technical Data
I was carrying my Canon EOS 550D. I used it in manual mode with the aperture at f/8.0. Shutter speed was 1/200 sec.

The colours were really nice. The white line of the beach stretched into the horizon. The sea was a sparkling shade of blue. The cloud formations were fascinating. In the foreground can be seen the walls of Bekal Fort.

It was a picturesque scene. Kariyankode river was flowing quietly. White clouds covered much of the sky. There was a steady stream of vehicular traffic on the bridge. I noticed that the buses on the route were painted in eye-catching colours. I then waited for some time and clicked the shot when the pretty bus came in the frame. I composed the shot such that the eye is carried to the tree-lined end of the bridge.

The shot was captured near Nileshwaram town in North Malabar. From here, Kariyankode River flows into Arabian Sea.
Technical Data
The camera is Canon EOS 550D with a Canon lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS. Aperture was f/8.0 and shutter speed 1/500 sec.
