marking his territory


from the back of an Elephant, at few meters

the second Ellie arrives
the second Ellie arrives

he heards something, ready to jump on


a Peacock

but, he was too late

What a beautiful cat

I don't think there are tigers in Kerala, where I am going i.e. there are, but nobody ever sees them. They have also started closing some tiger reserves in the north in order to let the tigers live in peace.............too many tourists and very few tigers

thank you

near by Kerala, there is a park... can't remember the name just now (will search) with Doles, Wild Elephants etc... (Indian Wild Dogs) and 2-3 Tigers
I didn't saw the Tiger, but I was on foot... when Dogs arrive and cross the river just close by

Liz, it's Periyar reserve HERE

was an hotel/guest house, but I don't know now
maybe a lot... or too much hôtels

picnic time
Ellie is ready
again photo from the Ellie

nobody move, neither the Tiger nor the Eelephant
