Nice capture. Definitely not my type of territory. I'm more into northern woods and streams. Cactus and lizards don't appeal to me.

 

[Rense Haveman]

I like it !!! Where is it?

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

There is no lizzard in the image John and Rense, it is in Orissa in India. Thank you both for the comments.

 

[Rense Haveman]

There is no lizzard in the image

Are you absolutely sure? Have you searched the whole surface?

No but I have searched the whole image

Don't be too sure of that. I said it wasn't my kind of territory. I didn't say I've never been somewhere like that before. I am willing to bet that there is more than one lizard in that field of view. They are too small to be seen or hidden by vegetation, but I guarantee they are there somewhere.

 

[John Holland]

Wait a minute, I think I spotted the lizard!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Now I realise that John A is probably a sissy, afraid of Lizzards and John H has exceptional eyes. If there were lizzards there, my wife would not have gone there. Now that's my proof.

 

[John Holland]

If you believe that I have exceptional eyes, then I also have a bridge to sell you.

John, when I say that you have exceptional eyes, does not have to mean that it is in the positive category.

You have now been exposed to crude American humour. Perhaps those silly half-hour American comedy shows you see on satellite will begin to make sense.

American comedy hardly make sense to me John, as well as lizzard peeping

Dang, just when I thought I was impressing you with mystic vision.

Through sunglasses

 

[Rense Haveman]

Hilarious!

 

[John Allen]

Now that the lizard issue has been settled I'd like to get back to the photograph. This is a view of India that I've never seen. When I think of India, I picture mountains in the north and water and lots and lots of green in the south. And teeming cities, of course. Mention India and I'm far more likely to think of the monsoon rains than I am of an arid, desert-like region.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Well John, it is by the coast of Bengal in Orissa. The difference of tide is formidable and right here where she is walking, it will be covered by the sea in a while.

Fine shot, Ivar. Very interesting.
