About Me

My photo
Gopi Sundar
I started this blog to primarily share photographs taken during my PhD field work (2008-2010). I have since expanded this to include observations made during my travels to areas with Sarus, and also other crane species. The idea is to showcase the landscapes that cranes live in. The homes of only 15 species can have incredible diversity of life and human habits. Through cranes, I started to write about areas dominated by humans and human activity, but have now expanded to include the rest of the world. I remain a life-long student of natural history, and this blog is to showcase the things that I encountered and wondered at.
