Stilts by the lake with an egret - When the though

Stilts by the lake with an egret - When the thoughts subside, the mind stills, and the breath slows down to allow one to become aware of an angle or a point which was always there yet not seen , and that moment is joyous.
Shot as is at the lake of Chanakya, Navi Mumbai - a haven for birds and flamingos.
Black winged stilts with egret.
Fuji XT3, 100-400 Lens

The window of Reality- Between man and nature, man

The window of Reality- Between man and nature, man creates glass windows to view the reality.
Each one of us has our glassed viewpoints believing the viewed Truth from the comforts of our condition. Rarely do we open the windows of our mind to experience and act upon the reality.
The damselfly believes the mangrove view but the glass window prevents its desire to merge with nature. The beautiful Wetlands of Navi Mumbai … protect it for nature protects you

'The Moment for a Mangrove fisher' - Whiskered Ter

'The Moment for a Mangrove fisher' - Whiskered Tern skims over the waters as the sun rises- Early bird catches the fish as they say. The whiskered terns are a phenomenon, they hunt as a pack and they are true acrobats of the air.
If you watch them long even for 10 min your brain cells will get fired up and the eye muscles will have an extended workout.
Nature's way to natural vision improvement
This one shot as they say is after over 1000 images over 6 months.
I have the Fuji 100-400, the Fuji XT3 to thank for. The camera and the lens are best tested with the whiskered terns at 60 mts range. Then you know the meaning of patience and meditation. 🙂
Shot at Talawe lake mangroves at Seawoods.

'The Pink feather' - for the past 6 months they he

'The Pink feather' - for the past 6 months they held my fancy in a way which was mysterious and magical. I miss their ballet like movements in the air, the sound of 50,000 wings beating the air waves as they fly above your head creating a sudden vaccum in the air while they pierce the air bands and a whoosh which can be felt. They came as juvies and flew away as matured adults. The greater flamingos were majestic and yet the lesser flamingos held their pink in the blue skies above the mangroves. They weathered the cold, the harsh sun, even the harsh rains and they all went away on 29 Jun 2022, disappeared into thin air just as they magically came in Nov 2021. They left many a child and an adult in joy, many to experience the Divinity once again in the pink consciousness of it all. A reminder of beauty in all this chaos of the city life.
A reminder how precious the mangroves are, how precious the wetlands are. The next season, depends entirely on how the wetlands and mangroves are protected for the ecosystem to be conducive
for all things bright and beautiful
for all creatures great and small
for all things wise and wonderful
'Twas God that made them all 🙂

A very happy Guru Purnima Sri Maitreya Rudrabhayan

A very happy Guru Purnima Sri Maitreya Rudrabhayananda ji. You have made us question the very base of foundations conditioned over time. And you have parted the knowledge of higher levels of consciousness, in all its simplicity beginning from the breath itself. To know the Divine one has to become the Divine, or else you have Him who lives a life which is far from the trappings of glitz, marketing and commercialism. Our many thanks, gratitude for showing us the Light Way

So when you wake up on a gloomy, rainy day may this lead you to happiness ...is my little prayer for you.
28 Jun, 2022, Navi Mumbai shores had this amazing early morning light - where the mangrove forest had a surreal golden hue and then a rainbow followed!
And I wondered, if the mangrove became a golf course with hi res apartments, which will be for the affluent will the city get submerged in flood waters because they lost the mangroves?
And yes make your wish other than the gold part , Definitely pray that the mangroves survive with its lakes

The Pink Lake of Talawe wetlands of Flamingo city

The Pink Lake of Talawe wetlands of Flamingo city of Navi Mumbai - 'A beautiful end beginning' - Audio on
With stagnant water, algae growth increases, multiplying across the lake and cutting off the light into the lake. The dissolved oxygen level starts reducing and you will see the fish more often than not at the surface gasping. Some days you will find dead fish floating and rotting in the lake. Thankfully nature has its ways for the egrets, storks and the crows have a field day of buffet breakfast of large fish to small fish.
As the days progress, and with the summer heat the salinity starts to increase.
This becomes conducive for cynobacterial algal growth what is known as the 'pink bloom'. There is increased toxins in the lake and is also said to have increased methane levels which becomes dangerous for flora fauna, and human beings.
It looks very simple and logical but there are murkier details and sad too for it is us humans who would go to lengths to put Money before Nature.
The story goes back 2 years ago when thousands of flamingos thronged the wetlands of Talawe. Today the flamingos have given it a miss totally because the water flow is manipulated by humans for some vested interests to build apartments on an ecological sensitive zone.
The Talawe lakes are being killed slowly so that with no flamingo activity which was a deterrent for the builders, the mangroves and the lake can be reclaimed.
All in the name of "Development" and a new India without the balance of Nature.
This is a story unfolding in Navi Mumbai now called Flamingo City or maybe erstwhile called.

5 June - World Environment Day - And Huston we hav

5 June - World Environment Day - And Huston we have a problem.
The Earth is boiling over, and the signs are visible to each one of us. So question is shoul dwe care, with our Consumptions - energy, food, water, gas, fuel, buildings homes, roads, clothes....

for some odd reason I am here in Navi Mumbai and right in the midst of the storm - In the very area called Flamingo point, Where the mangroves are to be destroyed for dwellings, and a golf course, where the year of 2020-21 saw the spectacular flamingos habitating at the Talawe lakes of Navi Mumbai and 2021-22 in stark contrast the flamingos have disappeared and have skipped visiting the lake here.
Human greed leads one to manipulate the inter tidal waterflow to ensure that flamingos find it inhospitable to forage, so that the place can be declared flamingo free and the mangrove cut to size to build homes for the affluent.
The list is endless and the plot thickens day by day.
But here is somethiing to celebrate and be wowed by Nature's beauty - and what I call the piece as "The Last of the Flamingos"
It was shot on the iPhone XS Max.
One really must witness and experience what I get to experience day in day out for it's magical and gives you goose bumps when you see 50, 000 flamingos taking off or landing in. It's totally Soul Lifting and Soul cleansing
Next season - be there to witness one of the largest migrations akin to the wildebeest right in the "flamingo city".

Be frivolous in your Consumption - this day onwards, a small daily change by each one to make a bigger change thus.#lesserflamingos #flamingosofmumbai #flamingosofnavimumbai #iphonexsmax #filmmaker #shotoniphone #flamingosinflight #flyingflamingos #wetlandsconservation #goodearth #flamboyance #environmentday #houston #navimumbai

Flamingos require the flow of inter tidal waters -

Flamingos require the flow of inter tidal waters - meaning the area where the ocean meets the land between high and low tides.

The intertidal zone is that it is submerged with water during high tide and exposed to the air during low tide.

The intertidal zone acts as a nursery ground for many deep water marine species, providing both shelter and food during the vulnerable early life stages for many organisms.

Intertidal species are a critical link in the marine food web and an important indicator of the overall health of the marine environment.
What was seen of thousands of flamingos at Talawe lake during the covid period of 2020, now is bereft of the flamingos because the inter tidal flow has been changed to a held water body.

Enjoy what may not be seen possibly in another two years. See in landscape mode and listen to the music to lift your spirits! 🙂
