Few things are as precious as happy childhood memories. Too rare, sometimes. Here is one of mine that lay buried in the wilderness for a very long time. Walking for the first time in nearly 45 years through the Children's Park in New Delhi, I remembered.
Beautiful, Neetu. We have a few of those bottle brush trees in my neighborhood. I didn't realize it had a fragrance. I guess it's time to stop and smell the trees.
Thank you for sharing these pictures. What a lovely park that is.
Walgreens scanner worked so they put them on a dvd for me and I uploaded them on my computer from that. The woman there couldn't tell me why their scanner worked and not mine! It is possible the SD card was corrupted when I used it on the computer in India. I won't be able to use the SD cards again probably, but as long as I have the pictures, I don't really care.
It's great when the air is cool and so clean that you can smell the trees. The air was so pure in Northern Ontario you could see for many miles - how different it is here in China. I remember walking on snowshoes past some cedar trees in a cold winter in Northern Ontario - and then the cedar smell intermixed with a waft of wood smoke from a distant farmhouse. It was sense heaven.
Actually, Dowser, those bottle brush like trees are called mimisops elengi maulsari and are found in tropical forests of South Asia. This is in India. Glad you liked the pics - much love to you, dear friend!
How very beautiful and what a good eye you have for your subject matter. There is an emotional response to these photos. I get what you are feeling by looking at them. That's an achievement.
Thank you, krounded. Yes, it was a bit of a convoluted way to get the shots off the camera, but I am glad they weren't lost! I wish I could have posted the fragrance too!
My pleasure to be able to share them with you, Charles. I also had completely forgotten about this park, and it was only when I decided to take a walk there that memories came back. Thank you.
Hello, GG! Thank you. It is a beautiful park, indeed. In fact, I was surprised at how well-kept it still is. It wasn't just the maulsari trees; the fragrance was from the floral explosion all around me.
I wonder if the bottle brush you have is the same, though. These are tropical trees found particularly in South Asia.
Dowser dearest, thank you - glad you like them! Wait a minute - I think I answered your question in a comment yesterday. Now where is it? Ah, yes, just above this comment, I think.
The air in Ontario is definitely purer than the smog-laden air of China, I am sure! Buzz, You describe it so well, I can almost smell the cedar and wood smoke! Delhi is quite polluted, too, but to find this piece of heaven in the midst of it, sure was divine!
Soooooooovieeeeee! Why do you keep disappearing? Well, thank you for checking these photos out. Yes, it was nice to find some nice memories and forget about the other ones for a while.
Thanks, Perrie! I suppose I can say that my mission was accomplished, if you could feel what I felt looking at these. Somehow, the experience of revisiting this park meant a lot to me.
Just sharing.....

Thank you for sharing these pictures. What a lovely park that is.
Nice series; are these the images that you were having difficulty recovering?
Thanks, Mac - yes, these are the ones!
What was the recovery method?
What a beautiful place! Do you know what those are? They look so pretty!
Thanks for posting these!

That's very pretty there Neetu - I'm so glad you were able to visit and also to remember the happy times too.
I love you, Soovie!

Very nice Neetu. Glad you were able to get the shots off your camera. I wish we could smell them too!
What a beautiful place. Good job, Neetu.

Thank you, Grump. I tried my best

I'm going to have to look those up, dear Neetu! I doubt that they would live here in KY, but they surely are beautiful!

Great use of leading lines (bottom image), overlapping planes (third image) and overall, a very fine photo essay.
