Here is a sampling of some lantern slides I took in the last century: As a break from the metropolitan routines of Calcutta, a few leisurely steps round the remarkable heights of Darjeeling, in the merry month of May...
The second night, there came the most gigantic thunder/lightning/rain storm I have ever beheld.
Most fitting, as Darjeeling means 'Place of the Thunderbolt'.
Indeed, it is Indra's playground!
And through it all, the Darjeeling-Himalayan Railway still chugs up and down...
Darjeeling! Where tea and thunder meet...

Such wonderful captures! Every shot has so much in it- visually stimulating and aesthetically rich. It is amazing how you manage to effectively freeze for posterity, the essence of a locale everytime. Thank you Brian for your inimitable contribution to the world, yes indeed.
