Weekend storyline

Heres a little story told mainly in pictures.
A picture does speak a thousand words;
I have added a few words to a nice weekend story that I heard recently through these pictures!

Starting the morning with a good breakfast of piping hot idlys,sambhar and chutney,

the weekend weather was nice and bright to venture out to the mall.

It was nice to watch people go about shopping or simply window shopping. Some of us could just sit there and watch the world go by.

There was something for all in the mall.

For HER: shopping treat and temptation in the form of a sale :

For HIM: a visual treat in the form of a dream on wheels:

So while some notice that there's a 70 % discount at a sale, some cannot take their eyes off the engine visible from the glass in the Audi!

 ANCHOR :
The word derives from Latin ancora, which itself comes from the Greek ἄγκυρα (ankura )

 

Anchor is symbolic of positive connotations:
• Hope,Safety, Fidelity, Stability, Security, Good Luck, Steadfastness, Ocean/Sea/Waters


1. (n.) anchor

a heavy device dropped by a chain, cable, or rope to the bottom of a body of water for restraining the motion of a vessel or other floating object.

2. (n) A source of security or stability.

I missed my milestone in April for posting a picture.

Heres one for April:
In a recent trip, I found this beautiful landscape which was enhanced by the River Elbe.
Summer in Hamburg is entertaining.

(Keeping the Earth day in mind)

Here's a picture that caught my eye on a recent visit to a temple:



The picture seems to be half in "black and white" and half in full blown colour!
The grey-black push cart and the all colourful pillar.
And to top it is the dog in its afternoon siesta totally undisturbed by the sculpted snake overlooking it (in the pillar !)


The picture doesn't speak much about the place, so a nibble of info on the place:
Kotilingeshwara temple is in Kolar about 3 hours drive from Bangalore.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva, as the name suggests, there is remarkably huge number of "Lingams" spread over an open ground.
As we move through rows of these varied sizes of lingams, we come across many enclosures dedicated to various other deities.
Mostly known for the lingams, this place is also frequented for film shootings (mostly dance sequences I hear!).
And the commercial aspect is noticeable with the shop lined walkway to the entrance of the temple.

Here are pictures of the biggest lingam and the surrounding ones:
