Recently went on a birding walk in Irawan, near Puerto Princessa in Palawan. Was fascinated to watch the leafbirds. They blend so easily into the background leaves. And yet, are so gorgeous. Nature is indeed wonderous!

The light at the borewell at Bitterpan campsite in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park provides the only distraction to the glowing stars. This picture was taken at around 5 am on a cold spring morning, when the universe seemed endless…

The sun deck at Ibo Island Lodge is the most perfect place to watch the sun go down, interrupted only by the vagrant lilac-breasted roller…
