SILVER STREAKS ON NILGIRI RANGE


SILVER STREAKS ON NILGIRI RANGE

The mountain range that you see in these pictures are the ones that every users of NH 47 see during their journey between Palakkad and Coimbatore.But the uniqueness of these pictures are the numbers of white streaks running from top to bottom that for a normal passers-by will not be significant..

It can be seen only during the rainy season that too after heavy rainfall over the mountain .It so happened that on the evening drive from Coimbatore ,we have just crossed Walayar towards Palakkad and nearing Pampampallam . The weather has just cleared after heavy rains a few minutes back . This resulted in sudden appearance of water-falls over the Northern edge of the mountain looking towards setting sun resulting in these number of streaks giving rise to a feeling of the mountain being watered by rain God .

Within minutes of stoppage these water streaks disappeared as well.

The closer look at these shots reveals the baldness of the mountain top along with the thick vegetation at the foot of the hill.

A rare treat for nature lovers .ON NILGIRI RANGE
