Just as New Jersey’s state name has made it the butt of many a joke, Bangalore catches a lot of flack (both from residents and outsiders) for retaining the title of “Garden City” in the wake of the recent decade of unrestrained growth. (If anything tells one about present day Bangalore it’s that its size doubled in little more than a decade from almost five million to close to ten. Even under the best of governance that would result in a bit of chaos–re: and this is not the best of governance.)
That said, Bangalore has some awesome trees. (As I’ve mentioned, this results from the lack of proclivity to destroy everything that stands in one’s way or that presents the slightest bit of risk or inconvenience that is the modus operandi in the developed world.)

These hills are in the Western Ghat range in Southern India. We trekked to one of the ridges near Madikeri while we were in Coorg.

DAILY PHOTO: Let’s Call it the Starfish Blueberry Flower
Taken March 30, 2014 in Coorg.
I tried to look up what this plant was called, but had no luck–despite its distinctive shape. We saw it in the Coorgi rainforest. As you can see it looks like a blueberry attached to a five-petaled orange flower.

Many say that baby macaques are cute. Those people may not have seen a true infant, hairless and wrinkled, looking–ironically–like an old man.
This one hasn’t even grown to fully look like H. Ross Perot. You see, all young macaques look like H. Ross Perot, and some adult macaques look like Gary Busey.

Taken in October of 2012 in Ayutthaya.
Ripples on the pond and vines strangling the tree. I don’t know why–or precisely where in Ayutthaya–I took this picture, but I’m going to go unconventional and make it today’s Daily Photo.
