This was again something we should have done long time back. I guess it was my laziness combined with utter ignorance of a place like this so close to our home in Bangalore. Dad was even more reluctant for some apparent reason. Anyway Mom and Aditi made us silly men realize what an amazing place Bannerghatta National Park actually is.
This one actually came and stood on a kind of pedestal close to the bus we were all in. Really amazing and beautiful creature.
On the way we go through a bear/lion/tiger reserve and finally come back to the zoo. We got to see a baby hippo at the zoo, which was quite interesting. This shot was when the care taker dumped a whole bunch of leaves right onto the little one.
Whoever thought of leaving a cone on a a vent near The Mud volcano in Yellowstone.
Life and death - All in one big puddle.
The reason I like this is that the colors are totally left to imagination. If you have been here you know what I mean.
You should check out the stitch tool from live labs.
Late night stroll at the David E. Brink Park
There was cool breeze unlike the bitter winds of December. The lake was alive with the winds and the sounds around. I love the fact that you can taste the water in the air and smell the fresh grass on the banks. Wished it was this nice all year around.
I really didn’t know what to title this and finally just settled with calling it, just what it is. Kirkland has been quite a blessing for these natural shots and I am sure like the light behind the tree, hope does lie beyond.

I had no idea MS was so much into professional photography - Microsoft Professional Photography.
A bridge, sign of hope people say. On the other hand there are some that you never want to cross because there is no turning back. I have often wondered about the value that we live by. Is it a conditioned sense of obligation or a façade filled with lies? The world is cruel and it makes you cruel as well and people most often want to believe they aren’t. At least that seems like a comforting fact, but still hypocritical in nature don’t you think. This makes even that little comfort vain. You feel as if there is no surface to reflect upon and you look up into the blackness and feel the endless void in life. The fact that a simple thing like a bridge can spark so much sorrow leaves us to question, how many things in life actually make you happy.
It’s not a sad day but I wanted to take a moment to write this down. As I want to remember “You never see what is in front and you never see what you leave behind!”. I wonder what truth is it that I look for and yearn for; I wonder if it is ever worth the fight.
Don't know if I will ever get to see this again. Christmas in Bangalore seemed more about these dogs and hospitals rather than about Christmas :)
