Weekend Reflections- Bamboo

As we were driving through the Malnad countryside, I could see the bamboos flowering everywhere. The bamboo flowers rarely, and it dies after flowering. New bamboo shoots which come up during the rainy season are used by the local people as a vegetable. They also make delicious pickle from young bamboo shoots.

  2. That is a very intriguing shot... It took me a while before being able to guess the strange tunnel of water at first glance was in fact a boundary stone... :)
