Pavan Kaul's Images: AMBROSIA
Sin city
Posted by Pavan Kaul (Mumbai, India) on 2 May 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
As the sun sets over some of the most expensive real estate across the globe, it's fading rays point fingers at the ravaged beach across the shore: Grim evidence of how the jet set living in those state of the art high rises litter their surroundings, abusing this lovely planet, oblivious to the outcome or the day we may see the final sunset.....!
A film maker from India who has keenly nurtured his passion for photography since adolescence.
'AMBROSIA' is what I have named this photoblog, since 'creative expression' is the nectar that nourishes the soul of all creative artists. One can spend a lifetime taking pictures which may eventually add up to just a few hours, but come to think of it, that may just be the sum total of ones life. A camera as a companion is an absolute must..be it movie, or still."

It just goes to show it does not matter how much money they have they still manage to turn the natural surrounding area into a slum probably only caring for their own selves selfishly

A gorgeous image indeed! Love the silhouette of the city and the light behind it! What is the real name of this city? In the US Sin City is Las Vegas, Nevada.

Marvelous set on fire sky...
Pavan, you are the best defender of the lovely planet !

@eva: Thank you Eva! This wonderful, beautiful mother earth is the source of all that is lovely and joyous in our existence! One cannot even begin to enumerate what we receive from her. The least we can do is care for her...we are simply 'too poor' to be capable of 'giving back' anything more.

Uday from Fishers, United States
Very true indeed Pavan. It's amazing how we live in those great structures and still don't worry much about our planet. On the other hand, nice composition and frame. Very good shot.
