The breads of India are diverse - I seem to experience a new type on each visit - made from all imaginable grains in every shape & size possible. The amazing Dhaval Negandhi models his dinner poori.
Libythea lepita or myrrha not sure the patterns look different n confusing for de inexperienced. This beauty was recorded from Silent Valley National Park during a recent trek.
Thank you Dhaval saab
This ridge of emission in the constellation Cygnus is part of the larger IC 5070, more commonly known as the Pelican Nebula. The ridge spans approximately 10 light years, making up the pelican's head and back, and is 2,000 light years from Earth. The tendril to the right of center displays the telltale twin jets of an embedded protostar.
This image is displayed using the Hubble palette, and was captured using narrow band filters, mapping Sulfur 2, Hydrogen Alpha and Oxygen to Red, Green and Blue respectively. Additional images were taken through Red, Green and Blue filters to capture true star colors.

Green vine snake (Ahaetulla nasuta).
On a recent trip to the beautiful high altitude destinations of southern India, Kerala, in Palghat district, while driving o a narrow stretch (of rocky n grassy mountain on one side and deep valley on de otherside, suddenly we come across with a green climber across the road. Rightly spotted n de sudden breaking practically dismantled everyone else (he he except me..de driver) while we were photographing the snake, another vehicle came from de opposite side n we've to stop fotographing n save the snake first n then givve way to de vehicle. so just grabbed de snake, while doing so it escaped from hands and suddenly moved to somewhere below the vehicle. after inspecting the vehicle we started off thru de most adventurous n thrilling tracks. After around 20 kms, I saw a movement on de rightside(driver side) thru the windshield...something moving. another braking!!!! he he and we freed the snake after opening the bonnet (b/c it was stuck there) Luckily the snake is INTACT with no injuries of any kind. We can say that tis is the only snake n de world survived the heat n saved by humans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A mildly venomous, yet docile species, the Vine Snake is commonly found in forested and rural areas. It feeds on vertebrates, including small nesting birds, lizards and frogs. The young are born alive, ie. Viviparous
Bright green or pale brownish, the interstitial skin between the scales black and white on the anterior part of the body, which appears striped when distended; a yellow line along each side of the lower surface. It is most commonly encountered whilst sunning itself on secondary growth along the forest edge.
They expand their body when disturbed to show a black and white scale marking. Also, they may open their mouth in threat display and point their head in the direction of the perceived threat. There is a widespread myth in parts of southern India, that the species uses its pointed head to blind its human victims
The species ranges from India to China and throughout Southeast Asia as far east as Sulawesi and the Philippines.

NGC 3628, named the Hamburger Galaxy, is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo, approximately 35 million light years from Earth. Along with Messier galaxies M 65 and M 66, it forms the Leo Triplet, a small galaxy group. It derives its name from its appearance, with a puffy bulging galactic disk obscured by dark dust lanes. The galaxy's tidal tail (upper left) resulting from interaction with other large galaxies may be up to 300,000 light years long.

Thank you very much Dhaval saab. appreciate ur help n identification
M78 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion, part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The gases are visible as a result of reflected light from magnitude 10 stars within the nebula.
M 78 is approximately 1,600 light years from Earth and is about 10 light years across. It is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula in the sky, and can easily be seen through a small telescope or large binoculars. This image, taken in Texas with our 17" telescope, reveals intricate details and depth within the nebula. 20 minute subexposures were taken using L, R, G, B and Ha filters. The completed image (with Ha added to the Red channel) totals almost 45 hours of exposures. Processed using PixInsight and Adobe Photoshop.

NGC 4567 and NGC 4568 are a pair of unbarred spiral galaxies in the constellation Virgo, approximately 60 million light years from Earth. They are named "Siamese Twins" because they appear to be connected.
These galaxies are in the earliest stages of colliding and merging with each other, with star formation most active in the area of overlap.
40 hours of images were taken through L, R, G and B filters. They were combined in PixInsight and Photoshop to create the final color image.

Green vine snake (Ahaetulla nasuta).
Hi frnds,
My first serious trip to wilds gifted me with some shots like this.............. Shot him while returning from Nelliampathy. Last weekend myself, Dr Naseer Ommer, Ashokand Dhaval planned a trip to wilds…….All the three except me were very exp and more int in birds and poor me dint have the right cam to capture the birds which were far away. So as usual I concentrated on my landscape shots and some macro……We were very lucky that we spotted some of the not so common species and Naseer sir told me that am very lucky enough to spot these in very first trip…….. Still I was not happy as our night drive and early morning drive were not so fruitful…….And while returning Naseer sir spotted this guy……..we were unlucky too as another jeep came opposite us and we had to stop taking the shots (I was the only one dint have any shot of him at that time) Again the sadness rained on me for not taking at least one snap…….hehehehehe………..And guys this is vat we call LUCK….. We found this same guy in our jeep bonnet after a 20 km drive……he was pretty fine and no injuries…….and the rest u can see here…………
Increased Saturation and adj the levels
Regards,
Sunil V N
It is on Dhaval Momaya's hand ... But i was blessed with the butterfly kiss tooo, I held it for some time after the shot !
After climbing the tough Tangalangla Pass (World's 2nd highest motorable road at 17,540 FT), we were rewarded with a magnificent downhill view. This shot was taken during the downhill ride to Rumtse. The rider shown here is Dhaval Soni, age 54 and an entrepreuner by profession. Very few people from his age would dare to take up this challenge. He finished strong!
The Cygnus Wall, a portion of the North American Nebula (NGC 7000) in the constellation Cygnus. The nebula is approximately 1,500 light years from Earth, and the Cygnus Wall spans about 20 light years.
The image was shot through narrowband filters, and maps Sulfur 2, Hydrogen Alpha and Oxygen 3 to R, G and B respectively, comprising approximately 24 hours of 20-minute sub-exposures. Additionally about 90 minutes of short RGB exposures account for truer star colors overlaid on the image. Processed using PixInsight and Photoshop.

Hi Flickrites......
How R U??? 'm fine n so is my life with NO but while he think that he's taking care of me well, I've lots of complaints:
He never feeds me a full stomach - says that'll increase my body weight n I can't stand on my feet
whatever he gives is @ his choice but delicious n yummy - again i asked him whether i can join for his hunt for food , so that i can also help n choose, he rejects every time!!
no toys - he says toys r foolish things , the twigs will do for the time being :(
not sitting beside - most of de time he moves around without looking @ me nor answering my requests !!
Apart from all these MAJOR problems n mistakes, 'm enjoying life and thanks for being with Me!!! I Love YOU ALL.
a small n humble request : Never buy any animals, birds or any thing of that sort. n make sure u r not wearing or buying ANY animal products. Also spread the word "SAVE FORESTS n SAVE OUR HABITAT" We'll make sure that you'll be given enough things to live a moderate n happy life. Thanks dearest friends once again...............
when time permits talk to NO and tell him to FEED me more fish n veggie..... just keep this between us. Hoooh 'm not even brushed my hair or teeth, not taken a bath...n he fotographed me n this condition n so I may look bit clumsy but I'll make sure that next foto session will be a better one than this.
Love to All. Don't forget to enquire about Me..n when time permits mm... no whenever he goes out ask him to take me also :-)
Love to all Flickrers, Malayalikkoottam friends, oops Dhaval saab (for frequent curiosity)..
Save Forests, Save Greens, Save Trees n save Kites esp. Brahminy Kites !!!!!!
this MWO was saved from a well of College of Forestry, Vellanikkara, Thrissur. The students of there, who saved it are now feeding it. and will be, by now handed over to the thrissur zoo authorities. When i visited my friends there at the campus, they showed the owl.
Handling the owl was a cool experiance... maaan its very soft !! loved it !!
the place is a birders and butterfly lovers paradise(well almost !!!) !!!

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the first Deputy Prime Minister of India, the first Home Minister of India and the independent activist who put his effort for making the single Union of India. Sardar was born in Karmsad, (District) Anand (Gujarat, India) on 31st October, 1875.
The Worlds Tallest Statue “Statue of Unity” tells the story of this “Iron man”. People of India loves him so much that they call him “Sardar” which means ‘the chief’. The name of the university located in Anand, Gujarat, India, is the Sardar Patel University on the name of this ‘sardar patel’. His firm decisions make about the nation brings the brock India United we see today.
By participating in agar art organized by American Society for Microbiology, I try to remember the great freedom fighter and our inspiration “sardar Vallabhbhai patel” and put his shadow sketch on Nutrient agar plate supplimeted with 1% glycerol with the help of Chromobacterium violaceum inoculated on it.
Chromobacterium violaceum is Gram negative facultative anaerobic bacteria which produces violet pigment which I feel best suited for making shadow sketch.
Painting is my passion and I always found of doing the art with colours. Pigmented bacteria helps me to merge my inner artist and microbiologist to put my thoughts my view and my inspiration on agar plates. Agar art contest give the chance not only me but also many others to show their potential and inspire others to know such little creatures and obviously our ancestors. By this sketch I want to say “Be Sardar of Your Words. Stay united and let’s grow together. This world is beautiful and we are the pillars of this beautiful worlds”.
