After a long hiatus, Jardin Angelou has returned to his blog. Already behind the eightball, let's start this blog again with his contribution to the world of photography and imagery...
I've never really been much of a photo-taker. This time last year I went overseas and with my trusty Canon IXUS took all of about 30 photos in 5 weeks. For the purpose of the second exercise (namely images and Flickr specifically), I have posted just a couple of the photos I took in India here (and one as the header of this blog).
I had uploaded some more photos to my Flickr account, but was hoping that there would be a way to link that with my blog. Unless someone would like to show me, I have led myself to believe that they are not workably interactive.
The above photograph was taken at sunrise at Vishram Ghat, on the Yamuna River at the ancient city of Mathura. Below is, perhaps fittingly at the end of today's post, a sunset over the village of Mayapur in West Bengal, which itself lies on the other sacred river of India, the Ganges, as it flows nearing the Bay of Bengal.

the images are lovely... along with your name - 'Angelic Garden' if I'm not mistaken??? (or, of course, if I haven't been led astray) - good to see you've gotten renewed interest - nothing works 'perfectly' (or even close sometimes) - but this is a really good learning process for this technology... the more you do, the more you find the right tools (or toys)... looking forward to your next post...
Thanks Proud Woman, you're pretty spot on with the name. I tried for "Garden Angel" but it was already taken, so hence the French. Thanks also for your advice (if you remember) you gave a while back for the images. I meant also to write back to you about the header on my blog. Obviously, I want to shrink the header image, but I was also wondering how I can play with my header name. At the moment I can't format it at all, so it just stays white at the same size.
I had a lot of trouble with my header too... played around for ages... incorporated the text in mine as part of the graphic in publisher... and then of course there were a number of uploads until I finally had the right size!!!! - luckily doing it at home I had the time to play around with it!!!! I admire anyone who has done all of theirs at work!!!!
