Life is a Freeway...

Another Sunset, This time in Melbourne on the Freeway. The iphone camera probably can't do justice but I couldn't let this moment slip.
Mehndi
September 15, 2009
The Mehndi is now synonymous with any Indian wedding. The term Mendhī in Sanskrit refers to the plant Lawsonia inermis and the dye produced from it, while the word Hinna was used with the same meaning, in Arabic. Although these were originally synonymous terms from different languages, a distinction later arose between them, wherein Henna became the term for the dye and Mehndi for the related art form.
Intricate patterns of mehndi are typically applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. The bridegroom is also painted in some parts of India.
The henna paste is usually applied on the skin using a plastic cone or a paint brush.

Entering Bass Strait

Sunset from the sky courtesy Tiger Airways. I'd always wanted to capture this but was thwarted by cloud cover before. Maybe it is now spring after all and the gods decided to give me a break. An exciting start to an even more exciting week wherein my cousin got married and we had the time of our lives.
