Terns - @ Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary - Andhra Pradesh, India.
IN FLICKR EXPLORE ON 1-7-2013.

These are TERNS - Deadly Fishers - extremely fast, was flying in a flock, head always down towards the water to spot a prey, and continuously by rotation one after another, one will suddenly come out of the flock (which was positioning itself in the lowest level) and was suddenly diving into the water and will be completely inside the water for two to three seconds and will come out after catching a fish - deadly accurate. Although I have seen missing one or two times, but very rare. Snapping their photo is a challenge because they move so fast and after a great difficulty , I could snap correctly few photos of them. Mesmerisingly fast moving birds and their size is only slightly lesser than a city Mynah !
@ Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary - Andhra Pradesh, India.
Pulicat lake bird sanctuary is a saline backwater lake lying along the T.N.-A.P coast; part extending to Chengalpattu district of T.N. It has an area of 481 sq.KM and it is the 2nd largest brackish water lagoon in India after Chilka lake in Orissa. The area on the TN side is 153.67 sq.km.
The Pulicat sanctuary is drained by Arni river while the Buckingham canal brings in the city’s drainage water. At the southern end is an opening on to Bay of Bengal through a shallow mouth of 200 m in width. The rest of the lake is closed by a sand bar running parallel to the Bay of Bengal in the form of the Sriharikota island.
The sanctuary has an area of 321 Sq. KM with 108 sq.KM of National Park area.
It lies within 11o 30’ N to 11o 42’ N and 76o 30’ E to 76o 45’ E.
Rainfall ranges from 800 - 2000mm. Temperature varies from 14o C to 33o C.
Altitude ranges from 100’ MSL to 1200’ MSL.
The wetlands eco system are considered as among the richest areas of bio diversity. Pulicat, by virtue of the mixing of fresh water with sea water is found to be an ideal habitat for diverse life-forms. 160 species of fish, 25 species of polychaete worms, 12 species of prawn, 19 species of mollusk and 100 speceis of birds are well documented apart from a number of other aquatic flora and fauna.
Among the most spectacular is the flamingo-a tall gaunt, white-coloured bird with a touch of pink on the wings, pink beak and legs, seen feeding in shallow water. The squat, large-billed grey pelican with gular pouch and a number of ducks are commonly seen. Flocks of sea gulls and terns circling in the sky or bobbing up and down on the water are an added attraction at pulicat. Besides, there are a number of waterside birds and waders such as curlews, stilts, plovers, sand pipers, lapwings, redshank. Egrets, herons, kites etc. are some other birds found here. The lake is also home to crabs, clams, mussels, oysters, snails, fish worms, insects, spiders, sponges, anemone, prawns, plankton and so on including rare endemic species like gilled leech, an unidentified bloodred fish, etc., Rapid siltation has caused loss of bio diversity. It is seen that mangrove opllen is found on Sriharikota Island indicating their existence some years back. Loss of mangroves may be one of the resons hastening siltation, reducing biodiversity and hence depriving fisherfolk of their livelihood.

A few months ago some of my Flickr friends posted photos of Irises... I am way behind and have a lot of catch up to do.
I also have a few more photos to do as per requests from some Flickr friends... those will still come in time..
Here are a few of my Iris photos that I captured a few weeks ago.
Comments and suggestions welcome as always.
Hope everybody is safe and healthy, we are in our coldest month and weekends are very cold with many of the plants that died of what we call "black frost" the color that the plants leaves turn into overnight. We don't get snow, but the plants' liquid literally freeze. Also, being a warmer country, our homes does not have central heating systems like in the US or Canada.
Status update:
Me and my family are healthy and surviving all the challenges that we are enduring at this time. Compared to some of the people in our country, we are doing extremely well. We are healthy and we can buy food and clothes. Otherwise we are extremely busy doing our daily jobs and having to school our two kids because of the C-19 school closures as per government requirements. This makes things challenging. We struggle to keep up, it is a lot of extra work. My two daughters is still very young so keeping them motivated to do what they must is not an easy task. Also, they require almost constant attention and help with the work.
From the Internet:
"Black frost occurs when the humidity level is too low to reach dew point and create white frost but the temperature drops below freezing. The moisture in the plant's cells freezes causing expansion to take place, breaking the cell walls causing the leaves to turn black and, in some cases, killing the plant."

This diet is designed to slow down the scarfing due to the setup time for photographing your food after you prepare it!!
Two years ago I (try) painted this boar. It was after many years without any painting my first experiment and I kinda like it. It was a present. Today I took a photo of it in the area where a lot of them live.

Another experimental shot.
Using Fractalius and my (very) limited Photoshop skills, I wanted to do something with this shot where I could run the picture through Fractalius but not affect the swans as I wanted to keep their original detail.
Therefore, each of the swans were removed from the original layer and dropped into their own and then the conversion in Fractalius done on the remaining layer detail, after that the swans were added back.
It could be improved drastically if I knew what I was doing more lol....I hope some of you like it...it looks better large.
Hello all my Flickr friends. I hope you are having a good long weekend :)
This is for the Rochesterian contest on "Long Exposure"

The name Orlando Haus comes from a famous renaissance composer, Orlando die Lasso (about 1532 – 1594). He was born in Belgium, went in 1553 and as a bandmaster to Rome. From 1564 he was bandmaster of Munich’s royal band (Hofkapelle). At that time the band was part of Munich’s royal Residence only a view steps away from the Orlando Haus.
The foundation of Orlando Haus goes back to the 16th century when Orlando di Lasso lived there. At the end of the 19th century Max Littmann reconstructed a neo renaissance building based on the historic model, very similar to the “Hofbräuhaus” that is also on Platzl.

I hate this experience that was forced on me. This has everything to do with why I don't see more than half of my contacts anymore. It is slow and it sucks the joy out of the flickr experience. This beta is even worse.
In-camera multiple exposure. Engelfish on the glow sticks.
Show some love, people! :-)
