Man Also Rises...

Posted by Pavan Kaul (Mumbai, India) on 27 August 2010 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

“A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful…tail…near the end of (its life) it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix…arises, reborn anew to live again.”

My apologies for my irregular visits and late replies to all your generous comments, but I am very busy with work of late. My sincere thanks to all of you for your wonderful encouragement. I shall do my very best to visit your work and return your comments as often as possible. Best & Love to you all:)

I saw a phoenix once, in the clouds. It came during a very stressful, sad time. I think it was a sign perhaps.. because everything changed after seeing the cloud phoenix. You have the most beautiful photo of the day award from me Pavan. I looked at my favorites, saw this and had to come here first. Superb! And of course a 10.

Wow! such colors and what a fantastic capture. Maybe in a way a bit kitchy (red sundowns can sometimes be to much for me, even if I can´t resist to take one myself now and then) but in your picture and with your message of Phoenix, it´s just so perfect.
