A new addition to my quiver

A new supplement to make my weekends more exciting has arrived. My new 55-250 mm Lens has arrived finally!

With the amount of good snaps I could have taken with this lens, if I had this some days ago make me feel sad. Better late than ever.

Now I have no reason not to go on field for wildlife, bird and nature photography.  It makes me so excited to explore those zoom level available to capture amazing snaps.

Here is a snap captured to test my equipment.

Next week we are planning for sharavati valley trek. Will keep those posted soon.

My cycling trip to Manchanbele Dam - nearly 60 km

My cycling trip to Manchanbele Dam

Our cycling track for the weekend was in a fix. We were in dilemma between Hesarghatta and Manchanbele Dam. 

Finally, we chose Manchanbele Dam for only reason that it was near comparatively.

We started at 6.30 AM from Bangalore University. We wanted to avoid the traffic, so we took Ullal Village Main Road. 

Here are the glimpse of Banglalore University at Morning.

It was unfortunate that the google maps is not equipped with Cycling tracks yet for Bangalore. We forced to land up with the Magadi Road which we wanted to avoid badly, instead wanted to go through the Tavarekere Kengeri Road.

But our GPS mislead us and landed in the crowded and pathetic Magadi Road for Cyclists. 

There is alternate way as well, i.e through Mysore Road, we avoided for the same very reason "Traffic".

So, in the way to our destination, we had our breakfast in the last village where there was some decent hotel available at around 9.30 AM. 

After we headed straight, cruising through the nature's beautiful village roads after passing Tavarekere, And after some point we need to take right which really is awesome track for cyclists.

Here are some of the snaps we enjoyed though the track.

After cycling for about another 75-80 minutes we reached Manchanbele Dam.

While returning we pushed ourselves hard through village roads and finally reached Banglaore University at around 2 PM.
