Fantastic snaps arati...the orang pic is awesome...
:) thanks... shooting that orang was just too much fun. will never forget that -- the *luck*, the rain, the early morning, the old fellow, the flowers.... i particularly like that some of the leaves are wet -- it shows the conditions... wetness was such an essential part of the trip!
