Un-Dead!


Picture taken at Bandipur wildlife reserve, Karnataka.


Some textures, some shades, some broken pieces left behind to be captured! I just look at them with numbing silence and the derth of life in this frame fasinated me. Almost lifeless, these pieces of wood made some sense.

"The endings, sometimes leaves behind traces to be seen in a very different light. Understanding the evolution and distruction of life might lead to knowledge. But, the acknowledgment of ignorance leads to questioning of the general understanding beyond our general awareness. Search the undead beyond the relms of the undiscovered eternity"

the broken pieces in the first glace seemed like dead birds to me.. oops.. then I clicked on the picture and saw it properly .. it evokes strange kind of feelings which I am not able to describe properly..
the quoted text is worth pondering .. currently I'm at my wits end ..ergo not able to add much .. :)

I thought they were dead crocodiles ... :)) I agree with Aria, they evoke strange sensations ... "Almost lifeless, these pieces made some sense" ... yes they did and the beauty is, you know, they would make different sense to different people ... Now I need to think what sense it makes to me and whether I can ever articulate that .... again u make me think :)

"Search the undead beyond the relms of the undiscovered eternity" Fantastic line! It's one of those sentences I can repeat over and over again and still won't get it's full meaning, but will still repeat it because I know it contains treasures within.

Even the broken woods washed ashore gives life to nature and to eyes a picturesque. These are something strange to remain distance, except lifeless human anything helps human. May this use as fire woods.
