The Jageshwar Temple Complex

The deodar pine that is purported to be the tallest tree in Asia



The Jageshwar valley with a hoary,yet sylvan, pine forest
The babbling brook behind the Temple

The Kuber Temple is part of the Jageshwar Complex but sited slightly apart; as if commerce and religion don't mix - the irony!
The Lotus blooms in Congress-ruled Uttarakhand

Bugs

This winged beastie could down an F-16 fighter
The midget sized male tagging along with his larger female counterpart
Antennae that are twice as long as the beetle
Intimidating, conforming to the cliche "bug-eyed"
Fierce yet cute (click photo to see his compound eyes in detail)
Those mandibles
Flattering profile for facebook
Bullet-proof carapace
Ready for launch
Talons for ripping apart his prey
