Daily photos 3rd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my THIRD year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Second year - Critiques welcome!

3rd year Pic 263 - Jun 27 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Follow the leader</span> <br> Quail at Ranthambhore National Park Very difficult to spot and photograph, I was lucky to get a few shots. During my trip to Ranthmbhore for NGO work, we managed two trips to the park. Ranthambore National Park is in Sawai Madhopur District of Rajasthan state. The park covers an area of Approximately 400 sq Km and is famous for Tigers, Panthers, Sloth bears and other animals plus a large variety of birds.

Langurs mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half their time on and the ground and the other half in the trees.[7] They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps. Langurs can leap 3.7-4.6 m (12.0-15.0 ft) horizontally and 10.7-12.2 m (35-40 ft) in descending. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_langur Khem Vilas: At Ranthambhore, we stayed at Khem Vilas, a beautiful jungle camp with three types of accommodations nestled in open grasslands with small water bodies, spread over an area of 10 acres. <br> <span style="color:cyan">For more pictures of Khem Vilas go to </span> <br> http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Ranthambhore/Khem-Vilas-Feb-2007/2518298_us4An http://www.khemvillas.com/

The mature males appear ox-like and are also known as blue bulls. The nilgai is the biggest Asian antelope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluebull

It was built and donated in 1869 to the city by Cowasji Jehangir and was named after Arthur Crawford, the first Municipal Commissioner of the city. The market houses a wholesale fruit, vegetable and poultry market. One end of the market is a pet store. Most of the sellers inside the market nowadays sell imported items such as foods, cosmetics, household and gift items. It was the main wholesale market for fruits in Mumbai until March 1996, when the wholesale traders were relocated to Navi Mumbai (New Bombay). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawford_Market<br> 11th June <span style="color:red">This shot was accepted in Leica Forum's D-Lux Master category. </span><br> http://gallery.lfi-online.de/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=-2776<br> http://gallery.lfi-online.de/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=155423&categorized

India is the largest producer of Mangoes and they come in different varieties. Alphonso, Benishaan or Benisha and Kesar mango varieties are considered among the best mangoes in India's southern states, while Dussehri and Langda varieties are most popular in the northern states. Ripe mangoes are typically eaten fresh while 'Aamras' is a popular pulp/thick juice made of mangoes with and is eaten with chapattis, rice or pooris. Sour, unripe mangoes are used in chutneys, pickles, or side dishes, or may be eaten raw with salt, chili, or soy sauce. A cooling summer drink called panna or panha comes from mangoes.<br> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mango
