Manchanbele Revisited

Went to Manchanbele Dam/Reservoir today. Later realized Big Banyan tree is also on the way and explored that too. I have been to these places before during IISc Populaire Savandurga 100. But at that time everything was in hurry as we have to complete the trip within specific deadline.

Today's experience : Both are great places. I loved the Big Banyan Tree, some people like trees, some like Animals, I am a tree guy so that was obvious. It was perfectly cool (natural AC) under the tree, I even took a nap after having my Lunch, that was great :-) But it wasn't easy, there are many monkeys around, they snatch stuff, particularly if they have weak opponent. They were planning to target my backpack when I was in sleep, but I woke up once I hear their movement nearby.

Ride Report - around 100km, approx 8 hrs. Started aroung 6:45 AM came back around 3.00 pm. I have some really nice videos but don't have patience to upload them on youtube and put the link :-) will do that some other time.

Manchanbele Dam, I met some other bikers there

Turahalli

Went to Turahalli this morning around 15 km from my home, they call it turahalli forest but there is no forest as such. but definitely somewhat green and peaceful place. There are some good MTB trails to explore, I have only hybrid bike so didn't explore completely.

 Temple on top of the hill while climbing

 I was bit scared when I reached the hill top, there were many eagles flying on top of my head

 Then these guys came to my rescue, shouting "Hiiii Uncleeeee" :-)

 It was very peaceful under this tree on hill top

 My Trek 7.1

 Another view of temple, I like the fragrance of these flowers, brought few in my bag as well :-)

 

 My Trek 7.1 again, looking cool, isn't it ?

 liked it !

 "Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." --Steve Jobs

 Nice trails for MTB

Saying Good-bye

 Some school planned picnic

Picture Story [Lalbagh Flower Show]

Every year during Republic Day and Independence Day, Flower show is organised in Lalbagh. We were lucky to reach there pretty early otherwise it would have been much more crowded. It was photo walk with Oracle Photography Club. The following clips will give you a glimpse, may be summary is better word as I have covered most of the stuff. In IISc similar flower show is organised during founder's day, you can have a look at here.

Loved this Pic, 3D effect !

this one too !

With some PP will be good e-card material, I guess.

 I Love You, Both :-)

 Now I understood, why poets relate Rose petals to lips :-)

 Awesome Creativity !

Different angle !

Yet another angle !

We are twins :)

 Loved this color combination (kum kum color + white), in reality it was much more beautiful. Capturing white is one of the difficult part in Photography.
