May 2007 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar

Desktop wallpaper Calendar for the month of May 07 is ready. This is an image of strands of a waterfall with the major flow of the fall seen in the blurry background. I am in double mind about whether the image is suitable for being a desktop calendar though. A browser resized version looked ugly and pixellated on my computer, so I advice seeing the full sized image. Click on the picture to get the image in 1024x768



About the Image

This image was made at a place called Muthyala Maduvu, or Muthyala Madu near Bangalore, occasionally also called as 'Pearl Valley'. It is a small fall with not much water going down, but when you look up from the bottom of the fall, the drops of water look as though it is pearls falling down(and hence the name). I was with my friend, photographing the fall and was unhappy about the result and told my friend - "The fall is like a poetry, but the images are like snapshots." This was the picture I made immediately after I said this to him.
