It's been a while since I updated this blog. So, if you're reading this... HELLO!
I've met a wonderful bunch of people recently who love exploring Bombay/Mumbai as much as me. So, 'Bombay Walks' is a humble attempt at exploring little nooks and corners of this chaotic city and capturing it all in pictures. In the first of this photo series, here are snapshots from an afternoon wandering around the lovely St. Peter's Church (Bandra West), especially its cemetery. Found some very interesting detail on the older graves. Do have a look. As always, feedback is welcome.

| Flt. Lt. Tolstoy Gilbert DeSouza of the IAF rests here. Really liked the way professions were mentioned on some graves. |
 |
| Some graves at the entrance of the church, their text fading with time. |
 |
| Wonder what these dates mean... |
 |
| The magnificent entrance of the church |
 |
| The one resting here could have been a lover of the sea... Or maybe s/he was anchoring her/his soul to the cross? |
 |
| Lovely scroll design of one gravestone |
 |
| Complete Surrender: Thy Will Be Done |
 |
| The bell detail on the church walls |
 |
| St. Peter holds the keys, remember? |
 |
| Ornate, but lovely design depicting nature and life itself |
 |
| Extravagant and a little spooky, those eyes. |
 |
| United in death too |
 |
| Reads: 'Jesus Called A Little Child' :( |

| Jesus Christ depicted in different ways |
PS: I went a little crazy with Picasa's Lomoish feature, but it was too exciting to ignore. :)

Nice Pics,I have to admit some of them were spooky.Thought of a biblical movie for a second :).
Regarding those dates,were they on the church
That 'Lomoish' feature in Picasa added to the spooky feel. Hehe!
And yes, those dates were on the church. Probably construction dates?
