Damodarside Sunset at Durgapur....a haven for beetles




Some beautiful scenic spots lie very near megacities, like Calcutta ..... taken with my 1.3 MP (megapixel) cell phone. September 2006.
Shows the sunset and its reflection on the Damodar Reservoir.

This is a neat strip running along the Damodar River , Durgapur. About 2 kilometers upto the Durgapur Barrage. This is part of the reservoir, so it looks placid. But then, had it not been for the Barrage, you could have seen the roaring, spray-filled river.

Nice spot. Bengal's biodiversity of flora is quite a thing to study.

Found some interesting looking beetles that I've never seen in Calcutta...
...sometimes, in looking at the big picture , we miss the very interesting small details of life.
