Monsoon - Non-monsoon Comparison

I was reviewing photos yesterday and came across this photo of an enclosed area I took in August:


Everything is green and lush -- and there's a herd of buffalo in the far back. (It's nearly impossible to see them, but I know they're there -- it's why I took the picture!)

This is the same enclosure that now is the favorite hangout of sleeping dogs, and was used for a Hindu festival in early January. So I took a comparable photo today:


Hot and dry and dusty. Hard to believe there's a pond in there during monsoon! You can also see the Indian preference for "scorched earth" landscaping.

Quite a contrast!
