Glob: Travels

Bird Alone

Bird - Dal Lake - Oct 2009, originally uploaded by righthalf.

Oct 2009:
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
- Lynyrd Skynyrd, Free Bird

Bird in Glass

Trapped - Sydney - Dec 2008, originally uploaded by righthalf.

Dec 2008: A bird in the glass is worth two in the lens.

Friendly Neighbourhood Spider

Fed Up

Shark attack - Cairns - Dec 2008, originally uploaded by righthalf.

Dec 2008: A shark attacks when it is hungry not when it is fed up. That was our theory anyway when we fed this shark and her pup at the Great Barrier Reef.

Southern Rednecks

Roos - Sydney - Jan 2009, originally uploaded by righthalf.

Jan 2009: The Red Kangaroo, found only in Australia, is in no danger of extinction. Interior Australians try to kill them for meat because they compete with other farm livestock for grass and water in large quantities, and are hard to catch since they can leap upto 40 feet in a hop. Here, Red Kangaroos are domesticated in a Sydney zoo, feeding on carrots and peas.

Constantly Evolving

Monkey business - Mahabaleshwar - Mar 2008, originally uploaded by righthalf.

Mar 2008: Photograph from a year ago. Regularly feeding animals makes them irreversibly dependent on humans. In the US, experts say this destroys the species. In India, experts say it gives the species a chance to survive. In a way, animal species have a chance of sustained survival in India if they get domesticated. Either way, it's a step in evolution. Shruti and I have adapted and evolved in the last one year in India, just like our cousins above.

Crawling Scales

Snake - Sydney - Jan 2009, originally uploaded by righthalf.

Jan 2009: When you build a crawler, you want one that scales.

Dog Days

Dog days - Goa - Dec 08, originally uploaded by righthalf.

Dec 2008: Like every dog, this puppy has his day getting pampered by humans who are experiencing a dog day in the winter in Goa.

Swimming with the Sharks

Dec 2008: Not quite referring to the fact that our friends in the trip to the Great Barrier Reef were investors!
