Cherub Holy Water Font at St. Peter's Basilica


The sculpture of Cherub Angels holding the Holy Water Font at St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, ROME.

          This is one of a pair of beautiful marble fonts for holding holy water and used in baptisms. It is found at the beginning of the central nave. The basin is carved out of amber colored marble and complemented by a graceful drape of gray-black marble. The basin is flanked by a pair of intricately sculpted Baroque cherubs in white marble. It is located in the Basilica of Saint Peter's - Vatican City, Rome.

A short break

A group of street performers taking rest at Cologne Cathedral, Germany.

“Activity and rest are two vital aspects of life. To find a balance in them is a skill in itself. Wisdom is knowing when to have a rest, when to have activity, and how much of each to have. Finding them in each other - activity in rest and rest in activity - is the ultimate freedom.”

My Black Dreams

The following is the list of 5 black things which I dream about. 

1)  Classic black patterned Roberto Cavalli gown

I had love at first sight for this dress when Carrie Underwood wore this in a Grammy award function, 2013. I just can't wait to put it on. Hope this dream comes true.


                 
2) Nikkor AF-S DX VR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

As I already have a Nikon DLSR, I just need this Nikkor telephoto lens which can be used for action, sports, wildlife and portrait photography and take my passion to a next level.
























3) A Black sedan

           As I love travelling a lot, it's best to have your own vehicle to travel comfortably with kids. So, a black sedan will be a best, smart and stylish choice.


4)  A Black Fossil watch 

       Who does not love beautiful watches. I love this stylish watch from Fossil.


5) A Black iPad 

         Finally, I would love to have a black iPad which will be fast and helpful for my writing purpose and will give more time to my blogging.

The Blue water

Taken at a beautiful beach in Porto Santo Stefano, Italy.

Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me: If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature’s simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard.

My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world.
