The green undulating meadows, the herd of elephants, the lonesome nilgai (is it?), those animals on the slope,the in-focus snake-head are all very inspiring.

Absolutely beautifully captured, Vijay!

Hi Viji:
Remember me? It is Ashok from Agri85 batch. I enjoyed the snaps of nature. Truly they brought back memories of my childhood in Topslip, Waterfalls, Munaar, Kalpeta, Bandipur and all the places that appear to have kept their serenity. Well I am now in US (have been for the last 17 yrs). I think I met you the last time when I came for a survey (perhaps Dharmapuri -maybe) during my Master's at Coimbatore. My email is apulli@lsuhsc.edu or apullikuth@hotmail.com. Please do write and let me know what you are up to. Ragland send the link to your blog.
Until later..Ashok
