What is picturesque?

[pik-chuh-resk

     Picturesque, as defined by various dictionaries, pertains to something that is visually pleasing. Simply put, picturesque is an adjective used to describe picture-perfect scenes. It appeals to the eye. As the definition so suggests, this blog aims just to give you such entertainment. This entertainment is in the form of pictures taken solely by our official photographer, an amateur of course. Although an untrained photographer, he is committed enough to capture the best and perfect shots. This perfection will be based exclusively on the judgment of this part-time picture-taker. Even if as cliché as it may sound, beauty is relative.

On the other hand, as the popular adage goes; “A picture is worth a thousand words”. A thousand words? That’s a mouthful. But a picture without words even if it’s worth a thousand is very confusing. That problem is well taken care of by the captions and cutlines provided for by our official captionist (if such word exists), another amateur of course.
