Armegeddon Bangalore !

The Aliens are coming? No, just a brilliant end to a long day at office. Shot outside ITPB Bangalore.

Amazing Shringeri

(shot using my camera phone – Nokia 3110 Classic 1.1MP)

A visit after a very long time to Shringeri last weekend left me totally satisfied, mentally and physically. This place is probably one of the most tranquil places I have ever been to. Shringeri is in North Western Karnataka. It can be most easily reached from Mangalore or Shimoga (both of which are well connected to other parts of India by rail).

Chayya Chayya live

Shot in Coonoor aboard the Nilgiri Express Narrow Guage toy train that runs from Mettupalayam to Ooty. Shot circa 2004, using my Nikon Coolpix 2100. No post processing.

(Note the other over-enthu character leaning over for a pic, just like me).

Bougainvillea

.. in full bloom in my colony. From afar, they are a brilliant sight. For an intruder, it is the worst nightmare.

They are thorny, woody, vines growing anywhere from 1-12 meters tall, scrambling over other plants with their hooked thorns. The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance that is easily left in the flesh of an unsuspecting victim.

This pic was taken by me circa 2005 enroute to the Big Basin National Park near San Jose CA. No photo manipulation was done. Camera – Nikon Coolpix 2100.
