Watery Wednesday

This is the Powai Lake in Mumbai. I had taken this picture two years ago. You can see a man floating on a tyre and fishing in the lake. This was a favourite pastime of the local youngsters , but one day disaster struck, when a young fisherman was killed by a crocodile in full view of his companions.

    Such a beautiful setting. Too bad it is also dangerous. How awful about the young man.

    That sounds dangerous! But looking at this picture of the placid waters tells a different story altogether...

    How unfortunate. The place looks calm and serene Is this one of the example of not to judge a book by its cover?

    Horrifying story to such a lovely view. We definitely have to be aware of nature and its dangers.

    PS - I am having the same trouble with blogger. I cannot leave a message using my regular sign-in here or on several other blogs. Not sure why. I'm at least comforted to see that it's not just me this is happening to.
