SunnyBoi, your Palio looks great.

I think you have to change your gallery photos with the new Alloys in place!

We then headed back home. I wanted to take it for a wash but the weather was so kind today since morning that it showered more kindness in the form of water. It was intense and short-lived but just enough to wash away all the proof!

This couldn't have been a better first half for the Sunday.

What half of the Sunday gone! I have to go to office tomorrow! Sunday evening blues!

Am sorry but doing those doughnuts (if you can call them that!) in a sensitive eco-area is not right. On any other empty area, maybe, but it is already known to be a ecologically sensitive area.

Correct ,there was a extensive article about photographers (wannabe wildlife) and bikers and cagers destroying/polluting the area .Frequent visits of vehicles destroys the top green grass which is habitat and food for many creatures ,birds and animals .

They were not really doughnuts but thanks ajmat, I understand and support your concern. I would be the last person to intentionally involve in any sort of activity that would damage the environment.

I had been following this meet, in a hope that it would be on the 1st weekend of Aug. Unfortunatey for me, it happened last Sunday, when I was still at my hometown. sandsun7 had messaged me over FB, but all I could say was a No, with a terrible heart.

Am totally in tears and emotional upon seeing the pictures. What a wonderful location and what a beautiful weather to complement the location !!! Sorely missed it :-(

sunnyboi's Palio, Hemanth's Abarth and the Red Beat (is it tckanth's ?) look simply stunning under the overcast sky !!
Hemanth - Your photography skills are amazing !! I wish I was there with my Green Bolt, could have made a nice pair with the Red Beat !!!

I am at a loss of smileys to express my emotional breakdown.

I am making an alternate arrangement with sandsun7 (Sandeep) to visit this place sometime around the weekend of 10th Aug for a photoshoot !! Hopefully that will make me normal again.

nice meet up / drive, excellent location. Any plans for the ID weekend at BLR?

It was great catching up with everyone but where are all the pics? We had so many SLR carrying guys that some guys thought we were there for bird watching.

We have to do another meet soon guys but this time with some nice food like a drive then a long brunch.

I feel the same as you Soumyajit. I've missed going to this place twice earlier. Can join you guys on the weekend of 10th Aug!

Mine are coming up shortly today. I was so caught up in processing my Saturday's trip pics that these went on the backburner .

Roger that!

The only bird I saw there was a crow!

I had taken in excess of 230 shots; have narrowed down to 167. Will try to post in batches, starting today

Was down with fever and as much as I wanted to make it, I couldn't.

Still feverish and will be fine in a day or two.

Looking forward to the pics.

Don't think I will be able to make it. :(

My wife is putting up a stall at a handicrafts exhibition and I need to help out. It's her first venture so she will need all the support she can get.
