The evening showers brought a temporary relief for Mumbaikers from the rising temperatures of the last few days. An incredible photo opportunity presented itself as the rains were accompanied by thunder and lightning. I sat outside on my balcony watching the lightning display its beauty. As I had my camera set for long exposures, I was lucky enough to get few nice shots of nature's fury.

Above is one of those lightnings that connected the clouds with the ground.

Touching the web will destroy it. It is a delicate beauty.

Above is a capture of sun glistening off the early morning dew settled on to the carefully crafted spider web. The spider is in the process of making his masterpiece when caught on camera.

Taking a walk outdoor, experiencing the surroundings with all our senses, is a good way to connect our inner self with the nature.

There are common things around us in the nature, that we tend to overlook because of their familiarity. But they provide as unique photo subjects. Attention to detail brings wonder and it is certainly worth taking a little time for a closer look.

The frame above is a common sight in our gardens. The patterns that are revealed by looking further provides a pleasurable sight. The nature is full of patterns that are well worth seeing.

Every photographer will like to take a go at freezing water droplets. They make a fascinating subject of photography. Even though there is a lot of patience required to get a good shot, it is fun setting up and experimenting different compositions and angles and the whole experience is a satisfying one.

It is when my friend Sadiq pointed out, that I realised the above capture has a striking resemblance to the Fat Man mushroom cloud formed as a result of the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki.
