    Wonderful pictures, Virgil! Especially, this one containing the bird looks very nice!

    Wildlife Sanctuary

    These pictures are the ones that I took on the road while going to take a safari for inside jungle visit. It was early morning and many birds (peacock and jungle fowl) and animals (deer and langur) come near the road that passes through the jungle.

    This is a wildlife sanctuary -- Bandipur National Park. Its approx 300 kms from Bangalore, a city in Karnataka (South India).

    --Peacock




    --This is a Langur (a long tailed monkey). What I wanted to capture in this picture was the pose of this monkey. Notice, how he is sitting on a delicate branch.



    --Another Langur family.



    --Randomly taken of some deer grazing



    These are the only animals that I could see, as inside the jungle, even these were not visible. I will make sure that I visit a sanctuary in the right season. I so much wanted to see Tigers, Leopards...but...~sigh~

    Do you mean that one Maddie? Yes that is my favorite of these too.

    Yes i took them Reccura (Are you Italian that you say Ciao? ) Those are seagulls. And I would imagine Pensy would love birds.

    Thanks Sleepy, I was wondering if anyone would like that photo. All it is is sand, but it's got such nice texture and distnct shadow. Massachusettes has lots of islands, as Kathy (who is from Mass) can tell you. An island such as this (but I don't believe it was this one) is where the movie Jaws was set.

    Someone commented that there aren't many people around. Actually the island gets crowded in the summer. I went out for a long walk before dawn and got to the beach area as the sun came up. Other than those two fisherman on the beach, no one was around at that hour.

    Wonderful pictures Maddie. I love wildlife too. Big hunter animals like tigers are very difficult to see. Probably only when they are ready to attack, and then you don't want to see them.

    Exactly, that was the one I was referring to

    Thanks, Virg Yes, big animals are rare to spot, and the only thing that I could see were the pug marks. And its difficult to take a pic in the right pose, the moment you find them in a superb shot taking position, they move

    The more I look at that one Maddie the more I like it. Lots of lovely shades of color, the blurryness seems to make it even better, and lots of other interesting elements like the ducks in the foreground. I think I may have that printed enlarged and framed.

    It is a good piece to get framed. What caught my eye was the different shades of grass. You are correct, its blurryness makes it look like a painting. The blue background, the lonesome cottage. Very nice picture

    Ya, I said that it was not crowded. I thought its a far away place that you visited, which is still not known to many people, and thats why its so peaceful.

    Okay, here we go. Special thanks to Kathy .

    That's me in a Dublin shopping centre that is of architectural merit in itself. The roof (in the background) is all made of glass.


    That's me on a bridge over the river Liffey. Quite windy day that was .


    This here is picture of one of Dublin big streets, with the monument of an Irish politician on the left:


    And the final one is me enjoying a Guinness in an Irish pub (with a man in a kilt in the background !) :
