The Colourful Waterhole


Anyone who has been to bandhavgarh would recognize this place, yes this place is the Gopalpur waterhole which is situated next to the Chakradhara grassland. When I parked my jeep near this waterhole the first thing I noticed was the red water and at once i thought that may be a tiger has made a kill in the waterhole but soon i realized that the red colour was from the algae on the water, another thing i noticed was that the canopy of trees and bushes behind the waterhole have varying colours too, that's mainly because the bamboo leafs are drying and falling and so are some of the other tree leafs. I love this picture because it potrays the actual beauty of the jungle and shows how colourful the jungle can become.
