Fallen leaves..
Pine forest, Vagamon.

Brilliant framing. Reminds me of my childhood when we use jump on the slops full of these fallen twigs and slide down. Used to be fun. :-)

@Ajay: Thanks, Ajay.. There used to be a hill near my Dad's village and as kids, we used to climb it too. But this slope is not as easy to climb as it looks. Its really slippery! I would never have imagined that climbing would be so difficult. I managed to, though.. ;)

I really like the textures of the pine needles and the slant of the trees - nice shot!

@Pai: In this photo, perhaps.. But the place doesn't look like Panjarakkad at all.. For one, the trees here are Pine. The feel of the place is a lot different too..

You have captured the colours very well. Nice work! :)

As Pai said, this one resembles our "pancharakkaat".. I liked the slight glow in this snap.. Well done!

@Mithun Varma: When you climb the slope, there is a clearing. The glow in the picture is because of the light filtering in from there.. Getting to the top is difficult though.. The slope is nothing like it looks.. Its extremely slippery!!
