176 - 9th - The road not taken

I saw this place and it immediately reminded me of the famous poem by Robert Frost - "The road not taken"

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I took this photo during my last transit break in Frankfurt, Germany. I never posted it as I always had better options. But today when I am posting it out of necessity, it isn't looking any less beautiful.

My plane just took off from the Frankfurt airport towards Mexico city when I saw this spectacular view from the window. Small chunks of snow-white clouds scattered all beneath me, as far as my sight could reach. I literally felt "on top of the world". The sight was so awesome that you could just sit there and admire the magnanimity of which you are completely oblivious when on ground.

I took this photo from my N95 & given the shield of glass between the camera and the view, the clarity of the picture was considerably good.

This is the Frankfurt airport. People who travel to US/Germany must be familiar with this image. Right at the center of Terminal B, they have this busy restaurant with the dining seats spread out in the open. The restaurant serves you some exquisite continental & European food along with a choice of drinks in it's small but a cute little bar.

I went up to the other floor to take this picture. From the same level, the seating was too high to get a nice view.

32 - 17th - Autumn tree

Its Autumn in Germany and all the trees around my hotel premises were standing examples of the same. I went out for a stroll in the evening when I saw this tree against a colorful blue and yellow background. On a chilly evening, this tree stood, waiting for the "greener" days to return.
