Europe Trip – London

After those few more days in Paris Center, we departed to London via the Eurostar Train and our first experience right through the Tunnel Channel. It wasn’t too long a journey and from our early departure in Paris Gare Du Nord we reached St Pancras Station around noon. How was the Tunnel Channel? Well, it…

Europe Trip – Nantes

Arriving in Nantes from Paris was quite a surprise in the sense that those two cities were kind-of worlds apart. Nantes is much smaller of course but the lifestyle is very different. Life looks to be on the peaceful side and even the mindset is different; people are more courteous and welcoming. The city feels…

Europe Trip – Paris

After four hours of travel from Frankfurt, the high-speed train arrived at Gare du Nord in Paris, and it was two different worlds. Compared to Frankfurt, the Gare du Nord was a mess; very busy with all sorts of people and rather dirty looking. Anyhow, it was time to move to our apartments. We spent…

Porlwi By Nature

After their first two consecutive years of success, the Porlwi Collective team came up with a different concept this time for their third contemporary art event and the theme for this year was concentrated on Nature. The first edition was Porlwi by Light, the second edition was Porlwi by Light: People, and this third edition…

Cane Corso Puppies – Mauritius

I sincerely love dogs but unfortunately I cannot raise any due to lack of space at home and also that I might be the only one who cares about raising one, so, it’s a no for the time being. Somehow, I always enjoy petting and playing with it whenever I come across one; be it…

Kangel Bijoux: Photo-shoot in Port-Louis

Last weekend, together with Kangel Bijoux Mauritius, I did a collab to photo-shoot her latest handmade crafts and jewellery in a selection of places in the city of Port Louis. It wasn’t to be a sophisticated set-up and kept everything as simple as possible. The weather turned out to be in our favor and the…

Experimental Photography: Sparkle My Hand

Being rather active on the Instagram platform, I frequently get inspired by some other artists and this inspiration most of the time leads to a creative mind to experiment with all sorts of things concerning artistic photography. For this new experiment, I wanted to play with the sparkle firecracker to create an effect of first…

10th Classic Tour of Mauritius

Last Weekend, on Saturday the 5th of November, I attended a classic/vintage car show in Curepipe, more precisely in the parking of the Royal College. Saw the event being advertised on ‘Vintage Mauritius‘ and decided to have a stroll. There were around 20-25 classic cars, all of different ages and look and since I love…

A Visit to Eau Bleue Waterfall

Having slept only 4 hours from last night, I was feeling rather tired for work the next morning and decided to take the day off. Somehow, a few adventure ideas came to my mind later during the day and again I packed everything and departed towards Cluny. This day’s adventure was to be an explore…

Hiking Le Morne Mountain

One Thursday evening (04/08/16), I received a call from my good friend Idriss about hiking Le Morne mountain for Saturday morning. One week after achieving Piton de la Petite Riviere Noire mountain, and now that the access to Le Morne mountain has been opened to the public… yes, previously it was a private access and one could only…

Sunset at Albion Lighthouse

Well, I must admit that winter isn’t my ‘explore and capture’ season but having a picture idea in mind since some time I convinced myself to visit the Pointe Aux Caves (Albion) lighthouse one afternoon after work hours for sunset, and of course, due to the early sun setting time of winter I had to…

Climbing Corps de Garde Mountain

One early February afternoon I received a call from a good friend asking if I was interested in joining him to climb the Corps de Garde mountain. Adventurous as always I readily accepted and we met at the foot of the mountain 30 minutes later to start the climb. Somehow, I neglected the fact that I…

Instameet Mauritius: A day at Lux Belle Mare

So what is this ‘instameet’ thing? Instagram, the image sharing platform on smartphones, is quite popular nowadays. Basically it is just an image editing application linked to its own image hosting service which allows users to view, share, like and comment on each other’s images. Well, so what’s the deal? In July 2015, the Lux*…

Astrophotography at Cap Malheureux

It has been some time that I’ve been looking to achieve some astrophotography… but the problem was that I deemed that my current equipment wasn’t good enough for low light and high ISO performance. Fortunately, since late December 2015 I got myself the Sigma 18-35 1.8 together with the Nikon D7200 body, and that was…

Porlwi by Light 2015

Festivals are becoming quite common in Mauritius since some recent years and there has been quite a variety of them; Carnivals, Foods, Bread, etc … and this year (2015), something new is on the agenda: Porlwi by Light. This festival of light aims at promoting the capital city of Port Louis in a traditional and…
