Northern Pintails

Northern Pintails

February 2009, Keoladeo Ghana National Park.

I had never seen so many birds in one place before! The sky was almost blotted out as the Pintails (Anas acuta) rose one after the other from the water cackling trying to escape a hunting marsh harrier. The loud whoosh of their beating wings, the commotion all around was an amazing spectacle.

May 2008, Strasbourg.

In May 2008, I had gone on a road trip along with a few friends to Trier in Germany and Strasbourg in France from Bonn. Even though I had scanned the photos from the trip a long time back I never got around to posting them except for one photo. So over the next few days there will be a small series on my impressions of Strasbourg. Incidentally, I played poker for the first time on this trip and Andreas was the one who taught me how to play it. After that poker became a favorite game.
