Twilight at Viper Island, Andaman sea


The mood was sombre while returning from Viper island in Andaman sea. It was here that the British used to imprison convicts and political prisoners. There are ruins of the notorious gallows which the British must have used remorselessly to crush the radicals amongst the freedom fighters.  The jail here was abandoned after the construction of cellular jail at Port Blair in 1906.

Changing colours of the leaves from the morning walk

Pictures from the morning walk today As the winter recedes, one can see several changes around. The leaves start changing their colours and ultimately they take a bow. There is this tree near our place which throws up spectacular transition of colours around this time each year. Happened to pick up some nice pictures today morning. (shot on Fujifilm X100V)
