Bhimaashankar

A tree by a well on roadside with fog in Bhimaashankar

Was just browsing through the old photographs taken by me. Found a good topic to post on my blog for Pune. There are many places I have visited in and around Pune. One of them is Bhimaashankar/Bhimashankar. The above photograph is showing one of the finest scenery of Bhimaashankar. It has the pure Indian natural beauty — Dense forest and vivid Indian wildlife.

Forest of Bhimaashankar

The place is a heaven. I visited it in the monsoon / rainy season — 03 July 2005.

Can you believe that this is photograph was taken at around noon?
This is one of my favorite photographs :)

Although I couldn't see most of it, the temple too was a great place. Wonder the road to the Lord Shiva temple is a slope. Most of the temples in India are built on hill-tops, or higher locations. This temple is on a lower ground.

Truly a wonderful place!

Photography Exhibition of Landscapes and Landmarks

My boss — Mr Bang will be exhibiting the photographs taken by him. He says he is not a pro, but has ability to see the world with a different light. The exhibition will be held from 10 to 12 October 2008 between 10 am and 8 pm at Yashwantrao Chavan Natya Gruha. The photographs are of landscapes and landmarks around the world. The main point here is that he has organised a charity campaign in the exhibition. Anyone can visit the exhibition free of cost, and if they wish, can donate to their favorite charity including an orphanage and a school for the mentally retarded. As a token of appreciation, he will be happy to give out a mounted photograph to the doner. So do visit friends.
