Logo-Trials

Here's three logos I designed for the Malabar Natural History Society for the upcoming All India Butterfly Meet that they are organizing at the Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary near Kannur in Kerala.


(Sadly since I had to leave for Europe to pursue my further studies I couldn't attend the Butterfly Meet and nor did I get the time to follow up on these logos so that they could be used)

@ Paithal Mala

Exactly a month back was @ the beautiful - Paithal Mala. In the north-eastern part of Kannur Distt. It's an enchanting places of Rubber Plantations and Forests that connect into some of the best forests of Karnataka. But alas, the Rain-Gods didn't let us to explore much.

It's supposed to be one of the best places in Kerala for trekking. December is a good season and quiet a few tourists flock in here from all over (India and World) to be one with nature.




I was using my Cousin's D70 and managed very few shots on this rainy day. Here's one of the better ones -

The Fulvous Pied Flat a 'lifer' for me.
