Awwesome!! Loved the cover picture. And all the other ones too. The lines/verses to go with each photograph pulled me into that 'magic' moment. Write on!

Thank you Mark. I wish I had taken more of that one. It’s more than a decade old!

to me there's a question arising: when do you have time to write in the notebook while you're driving? you say photos are taken with a phone, so the logical and practical part of me probably would turn on the voice notes on the phone without the need for a notebook. but that's just me. great photos by the way!

Good question!! I have been asked this many times. There is usually a long wait at the signals and I do enjoy the act of writing rather than recording though I have tried that as well. Sometimes I just go ahead and park on the side :) there you go that’s my process. Thanks so much @perfectlight!Appreciate it.

(I wonder if they are at all aware that random people in the world have had their day brightened by that choice of hoodie-wear and your perfect image of it.)

I think both the city is a story in your photography and you are a part of the city’s stories. Yes, magic! Thanks, Shital!

Beautiful words and pictures, Shital. Such vivid colours throughout!

And I used to own a bike and I wish that I could have a red bunny helmet 😆

Shital, this is stunning. I love "They all run after the Sunset" and the accompanying image of the two men looking out, with one bearing the sigil of the sunset on his back. Running isn't always panting. And Sunset isn't always on the horizon.
