Welcome to my blog :

Nature & Travel Photography. Why “exxtracts”?

Well, for me it is  EXtraordinary Xperiences of  TRAvelling Countries, Towns & Shores

In short it is ‘exxtracts’.

*******

This Blog started in my mind, from Delhi Airport, when I was waiting for my flight to Miami, Florida, USA. I was having a Blog but not a photo blog, so I thought of starting a new Blog  with an aim to document  the  entire trip and to share with others.  I had no idea that it would be so popular instantly. This is a photo Blog where my Travel and Nature  photographs are to be placed.

Lately, the passion for travel and love for nature has induced another passion in me which is Photography. Travel destinations and nature’s abundant beauties fascinate and inspire me  to capture those beauties. But I should not be mistaken as an expert on the subject. I am a learner and will continue to remain as learner.

Hope, you will enjoy the contents.

All the very best to you,

Thanks

    • Sourav, I m fine. Thank you, hope you too are doing well.
      Yes I had to add one more site for this tour. But it requires some works to be done to streamlining these. Its on and firstly I have changed my URL (on my name, leaving the numbers) at a cost of visitors used to visit my site. That made me to knock you today.
      Enjoy the photographs.
      All the best.
      bye

    • Hi,
      This is a WordPress Blog, I don’t know how it is feasible? Generally, as far as my knowledge goes, they don’t allow any Ad. If you are aware about it, throw some light on it and I am ready to discuss further. Else, I will write back to WordPress, which may take some time.
      Thanks and Regards,
      Anil Cm

  44. Hi,

    My name is KC Owens, I’m a college student and I love to travel! While cruising the Internet, I found your site and really enjoyed reading your posts. I have been to countries all over Europe with just my backpack and a camera. Since I am a college student and I have significant bills, it can be difficult to find ways to travel the world. However, I have done this several times, with less than ten pounds of luggage and while on a college dime!

    I was hoping that you would allow me to write a post for your site to share my tips and tricks with your readers. I put a lot of time into my traveling, it is my biggest passion and I would love to inspire others by sharing my stories, mistakes and triumphs. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Best,

    KC Owens
