Dear All,
Finally !! the monsoon has arrived. After the sweltering heat of the summer months, the whole landscape and every living organism including human beings, look up at the sky and wait for the clouds to burst. The effect is magical, particularly in forests… the monsoon changes the visual sense of the forest completely and recharges the whole environment. It's a whole new scene of wildlife that takes place…. Just a few days back, when the sun was at its scorching best, the forest was set for this transformation as if anticipating the monsoon, like it has for millions of years. Life emerges from the forest floor in a myriad forms. Such is the variety and diversity, that it is just unbelievable. This breath-taking natural wonders has to be experienced to believe. The forest floor is now littered with flowers, crabs, bugs, beetles, spiders, caterpillars, frogs and what not. It is amazing what the first shower does to the landscape. The monsoon proclaims the beginning of plenty, a season of new life….. a Transformation. Take a walk in the forest and enjoy this treasure trove….you never know, how many years this magic will last !! I have attempted to portray this “transformation” through some images that were captured around Mumbai (Tungareshwar, Sanjay Gandhi National Park, aarey colony area, Yevoor and Nagla forests) during the last few days.
