Dood’s viewpoint from a different point of view
Originally clicked and uploaded by – Pratosh Dwivedi – 30th June’08This one is again from the Africam Safari in Puebla. Though you are allowed to drive in your own vehicle & even a rented taxi, there are these big jungle safari vehicles which take you on a tour of the whole place.
These vehicles are appropriately painted in “jungle” colors with all different animals appearing on different sides of them.

The dark guy, most probably the shopkeeper, didn’t look too much interested in the business though

As I was standing there and deciding on the appropriate angle to shoot, I saw one of them open their wings and dance. It was a really a magical sight.
As this lone peacock was dancing, the rest of them were singing in unison.

There is no better view of nature than to see two souls entangled in the magical strings of love. Love someone & you find yourself living in a completely different world, where all it matters is how you can love more.
I captured these love birds in my camera from my apartment in Mexico City while they were busy singing the love song

A combination of Red, Yellow & Green spread across the floor was a fabulous scene to look at. One small pot of these colorful chillies was sold at 50 Mexican Pesos, which is around 200 Indian rupees.

He becomes completely oblivious of his surroundings and all he has in his mind is the scene he is concentrating on. We usually find them in awkward positions; sometimes half bent, sometimes leaning backwards, sometimes almost lying flat on the ground Thats the magic photography does on serious pursuers.
I knew what the lady is aiming at, but I am still not sure what the guy sitting below is up to 
This flower resembled a “multi-shoot” gun barrel of a military warship when I first saw it. Numerous empty barrels in concentric circles, ready to spit fire. Actually it is an empty dried shell of a flower which was baked by the heat of the sun. But it certainly doesn’t look any less attractive after its death too. Beauty they say, is in the eyes of the beholder & certainly in the lens of my camera
Originally clicked and uploaded by – Pratosh Dwivedi – 23rd June’08Though the image is not clear in full size & contains a lot of noise, but I really wanted to post this one due the sheer interest I had in the way it actually looked. A green juicy olive dipped in a chilled glass of bubbling sprite. Though the olive doesn’t really go with sprite, but on my case it had to, cauz I am not into hard drinks
The bubbles rising out of it were the one which caught my attention and made me click this one. Due to the lack of proper lighting I couldn’t get a clear shot, but i was pretty much satisfied with the overall look of the image.

Compared to orange tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger both at birth and at full adult size. The unusual coloration of white tigers has made them popular in zoos and entertainment that showcases exotic animals. (Courtesy Wikipedia)
I shot this one at the Africam Safari in Puebla. It was brought from the tiger reserve in Bengal, India.
Originally clicked and uploaded by – Pratosh Dwivedi – 21st June’08Matching with the all the green color around it, this flower was not looking that magnificently colorful, but it had a sense of beauty and attraction of its own. Made of tiny little “flower-lets” it was giving an appearance of “scene-within-a-scene” with numerous small flowers hidden inside a bigger entity.
