Life – Water Droplets Cool…

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 25 July 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Seeing these water droplets on the red hot chilli reminds me that at times in life things can get really hot and uncomfortable.

During such times we just need things to cool down like how these water droplets cool this red hot chilli.

Water has such a cooling and perhaps even a calming effect. Maybe when you are faced with a red hot chilli time, it might be good to take some time off to take a cool shower or sit by some calming body of water like the sea, lake or river. And there is of course that cup of cool water.

May the rest of your week be cool.

Very nice photo! I also like your story around red hot chili... It's a good idea to give the exif and the details like that. Why did you chosen a shutter speed of one second?

This is sooo symbolic and yet true, I just tried to construct a cupboard for my son's bedroom, but the attachment of the door took twice the time of the whole cupboard, and I got so frustrated and angry that I ripped off the door, luckily not damaging the cupboard construction. That was a mouthful of chili, but after having eaten and drunk something I felt the drops cooling me off and now the door is waiting upstairs for refreshed attempts.
