Making family photographs has always been less of a cake walk for photographers capturing each of the family members personality and bringing out the family dynamics in your photos, even the most professionally experienced find themselves at strike. Nevertheless this piece of blog is a little divert from those usual cliched family pictures where in the Babuji (head of the family, mostly a grandfather) and Baa (Grandmother) sitting in the frame center with all other family members smile posing around them. The family which I clicked is the family of perception!
This was a weekend trek to Lohagad with a small bunch of friends. Not much of a trek, it took us about 2 hours to reach with walking-resting-clicking-walking along the trail. The fort offers one of the most scenic views of the surrounding regions with lonavla city on one side and the rural outskirts of "Pawan maval".

A small pipal tree (Ficus religiosa ) rooting its grip to the fort walls with many of those contrasting red, maroon and pink shade leaves. This pic closely resembles a family. With a closer look the green ones are the eldest ones as we can see they are bigger than others and are usually parents of the branch they contains the green pigment Chlorophyll that helps them feed the ones with no chlorophyll i.e the red or the maroon ones. we can also see the red ones with little green those are the teens getting into adolescence.Then there are the red ones bright red the young. And last but the least the new born buds emerging in between. So much so that we can also see like usually happens in a family photo, the children, the younger ones are always in front followed by the elder and then the parents behind all of them.
A story that has never looked upon as this.This makes us realize that we all are tied with a bond.
This is my first photo-story , the scientific fact mentioned above may not be accurate, but it does approximate aesthetics.
