Green Carpet

GREEN is the flavour during the monsoon months. The earth dons a new look during this season. Everything is fresh and green and the beauty gets accentuated after a spell of rain.

This moron drove his car into a restricted forest area and then got stuck in the soil there. Thankfully, for him, no elephants came his way 
Recently, I was at the Kabini National Park and was enjoying the natural beauty of the greens in the rains. I was traversing through the forest during a jungle jeep safari when I spotted this Maruti Swift car stuck in the soft mud on the banks of the lake. It is illegal to bring in private vehicles into the jungle, but I was kind of entranced with the sight of a white automobile in the middle of total greenery and hence decided to capture it forever.

    Yes. A lot of my Kabini pictures had a green background. Was lucky as it was raining that weekend and the greens seemed to stand out.

    Totally agree with you Sandeep! I have already posted this on FB. You can also spread it in your network, if you want to.

    We should definitely try and play our part in stopping such moronic acts.

    Why were all those trees cut down in the National Park?

    I guess...Either felled by elephants or cut by the forest department to prevent cracking of trees when the water level rises and/or to help make boat commute easier.
