Photomode Collection - 4K Game Wallpapers

 

I have enjoyed the 4K HDR gaming experience on Xbox Series X for close to a month. The stunning visuals and smooth gameplay have left me in awe, and I couldn't miss the opportunity of exploring in-game photography, which comes with games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Marvel's Avengers. I found that even Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Theater mode found in the Barracks menu is an excellent option to capture sharp images of the in-game ambiance and graphics.

I am posting links to albums from my Flickr account, which you can use to download the high resolution 4K images if you would like to use them as wallpapers. I would update this post whenever I add a new game to the Photomode image collection list

Landscape photos - Throwback Travel

Sharing some edits of travel pictures from the 2018 Bhandardara Trip, people have started going out to undertake travel, defying the fear of COVID. I took the last vacation outing in March 2020, just before the lock down was implemented in India.

Personally, I am still not able to muster the courage to go on a short break with the family as a new strain of the COVID virus is spreading across the globe at a time when we are yet to recover from the initial aftermath of the global pandemic.

Bhandardara Trip

Sharing link to video montage of my trip to Bhandardara hill station this year, a memorable road trip with family. We enjoyed our stay at Ananadvan Resort which is very well maintained and has courteous staff with lip smacking food at their in-house restaurant. When you are out exploring nearby attractions near Bhandardara dam do visit places like Umbrella fall at Wilson Dam, Amruteshwar temple, Randha Falls, Reverse Waterfall at Sandhan Valley and Agasthya Rishi Ashram.

We took Chakan - Rajgurunagar - Alephata - Brahmanwadi - Kotul - Bhandardara which is the shortest route however once you take the turn from Alephata it is a single lane road with some bad patches on the way so you need to drive slow while passing through small villages. Nevertheless this route is enjoyable in terms of soaking in all the natural scenery around. Make sure to have snacks/breakfast while you are on the highway.

On return we took the longer route back to Pune from Bhandardara - Ghoti - Bhatwadi - going along NH60 - Ghulewadi - connecting at Alephata which adds approx. 70kms to the journey however road condition is good and you would pass through farm areas all along with more options to stop for food on the highway.

Enjoy the video!

Ode to a Rainy Sunday

A post shared by Bhautik Joshi (@kreativegeek) on

I was yearning for a rainy weekend this monsoon season and today was that perfect Sunday when a steady drizzle has continued since morning, prompting me to spend time in my balcony staring at the rain drops soaking up trees in our society garden while enjoying hot cup of coffee. I am no fan of gloomy overcast weather however the pluviophile in me is not complaining today.

Occasional mist of rain drops accompanied by the breeze gracing my face, feels refreshing! There is some beauty to a rainy day that makes you stop for a while and take time to look at the world around you. The sight of landscape blurred by raindrops renders the weather to look more fresh once the rain has passed, the air feel more clean. Even if you are stuck in traffic if you choose to ignore the noise of urban distractions around you and listen to the rain drops falling, they don't have any tune but it creates an ambience of sound worth listening too.

This year there have been no major instances of raging downpour that continues for few days making it difficult for people to move around in the city or commuting to work. No one loves to be confined to their home watching downpour continuously or braving flooding in the name of 'spirit of the city'. That is why I love the rains in Pune which does not bring your life to a standstill apart from the regular traffic snarls and other civic issues which every major city in our country faces.

Rainy season is a phase of transformation that changes the brown landscape of scorched earth to a vibrant green carpet laid down by the clouds, dust turned to mud. Thoughts and ideas pouring like the rain, some come out in form of words some get washed away. This happy feeling does not for long however the rain touches our soul to prepare us again to deal with the mundane chores of our day to day lives.
