The Greens

The paddy fields are always a welcome sight. The green during the day and it turns golden at sunset.

Amazing stuff really. I usually go into the fields to take a few shots but haven't been able to do so this time round. 

Hopefully I will get a glorious sunset when I do to.

Finding Beauty

This was tough one to title. I really have no particular reason why I went with this particular title.

This is the same fly that was featured in one of my previous photographs - the one with it at the edge of a leaf looking towards the mountains in the distance.

This fly wasn't shy and didn't really mind me going close with a camera so that made it easy. People were surprised that I was shooting the fly and not the landscape.

Up Above

For some reason this scene reminded me of the movie Up.

If you haven't watched it, you must. It's a really nice movie.

Ok enough about the movie. For some reason my iPhone camera always underexposes the scene. One reason could be because it is really old (read: no longer supported). I've tried tweaking the settings but that doesn't seem to help.

Getting Ready To Sleep

Bats have always amazed me because of the way they sleep. Upside down and never fall. That to me is a amazing. But today's picture isn't about bats...it's about Oriental Garden Lizards.

They lizards are somewhat like bats. They sleep on trees. They just hang on to a branch and sleep. They never fall off unless of course they had a nightmare and jumped right out of bead (read: branch).

I caught this juvenile asleep on a branch. Unfortunately the flash woke it up but it didn't seem to mind since it went back to sleep after I'd taken a couple of shots.

The Light Shines Through

Took this as the sun set after heavy and continuous rains. Fortunately they stopped just in time for a game of football.

Instead of watching the game I got distracted by the sunset and watched that instead. Took quite a few pictures too.

This one actually came out better than I expected. I think I'll tweak it a bit later.

Always Defensive

I was out shooting the mountains when I noticed this little insect crawling on the plant.

It was just moving in hap-hazard lines and didn't really seem to be going anywhere in particular so I decided I'd take a shot of it.

As I took the camera near it must have sensed my presence because it immediately raised it's pincers in the air and stayed like that till I move away.

BTW I've seen these insects before and trust me, you don't want to go near them when they are mad. It actually hurts a lot!

The Tower On The Hill

It's been a while since I've posted a picture of this tower.

This is one from the on-going series titled "The Tower On The Hill".

I don't think I'll ever put an end to the series - at least not as long as I'm in this place and able to take pictures of this tower.
