An Old Ruined Temple

Portrays an Unexplored Ruined Temple

On the Ajmer-Pushkar Highway (NH89), about 7 km before Pushkar on a hill lies this hidden old ruined hindu temple. It looks beautiful from this Photographic angle as it is surrounded by greenery. There is a well (Right Corner) too, no one probably knows its deepness. Walls and roof of the temple are totally ruined and there is always a probable situation of falling. I said it unexplored as very less people know about it.

Beautiful Brahminy Starling

Portrays a Brahminy Starling (Myna).

This myna is pale buff creamy with a black cap and a loose crest. The beak is yellow with a bluish base and iris is pale and there is a bluish patch of skin around the eye. The tail feathers have white and the black primaries of the wings.They have musical call notes that are long made up of a series of slurred notes that ends abruptly. Like most Starlings, the Brahminy Starling eats fruit and insects.

Creative Thoughts of Photographer: The Bird is sitting behind the fence, so it seems like it is caged but actually it is free to fly without any restrictions or boundaries unlike we Human, who seems to be free and independent but matter of the fact is we are confined to limitations that we have created around us. That's the biggest difference between Birds and Humans.

The Tyndall Effect

Tyndall Effect or Tyndall Scattering.

Definition: The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light as a light beam passes through a colloid. The individual suspension particles scatter and reflect light, making the beam visible. The amount of scattering depends on the frequency of the light and density of the particles.

Being a Science Student I never really noticed the Tyndall Effect in such a pure form. I only use to know the practical which was in the course syllabus of school laboratory. Although I really thinks that I was lucky to have this beautiful click while passing through a street in Udaipur.
