Ramanagara Rocks - Seeing Challenges




"Ramanagara Rocks" - Yes, pun intended. Rocks of Ramanagar are very scenic. Every time I go there it offers me different "seeing" challenges. Long Billed Vultures roost and nest at "Ramadevara Betta" (Mountain of Rama). This is the best place to see these critically endangered vultures. I have seen about 7-9 of them at this place.




May their tribe increase...


Back to seeing, vutlure and its habitat offers some fantastic opportunities. Couple of images above are some attempts at seeing differently and also portraying its habitat. The below image of rock and the vulture was a non-trivial composition for me. While tracking the bird in the view finder, I found this arrangement very interesting.





**UPDATED on 11 Nov 07 ** Made this image below today at Ramanagar..






More images from the trip are at my home Nature Lyrics.

Was expecting a post on Ramanagara from you. You tend to see them ( LBV and the hills ) differently everytime you go there.
May their tribe increase and wish we get to see >9 in future.

Ganesh sir, "Seeing Challenges" or "Seeing Opportunities"? :) Please elaborate.

These are totally different and fantastic perspectives that you have "brought" about this wonderful place. I am sure you will come up with many more. Will be waiting..
