This was shot as I was walking across one of the monkey bridges. It amazes me that I was able to stop, click a photo, and never fell off. The view was beautiful. You can't tell from the photo, but the humidity and the heat was thick; the water's reflection creates the illusion of crisp freshness, as if we were standing with our hair being blown by light breezes. But in fact, the air was heavy, like it was weighted down. And, it was not silent like this photo appears -- we were heading into a small section of the wildlife reserve and there were winged creatures of all kinds flying about. They were pretty verbal and expressive of their displeasure (maybe?) at our presence. Every once in a while, I could see a white pair of wings taking off from a tree or a bush. It was quite amazing.
