Local walks    India 2012
Return to the main 2012 pictures page                      Back to main India pictures page
My main regular walk was up through SVU campus past NCC Nagar between the guesthouse and the distant hills. Many of my bird photos were taken there. I got to know some of the families who lived on the small road on the University campus that led to NCC Nagar. Other walks were in the Temple Dairy farm up past the rail crossing, or to the village of Thumulagunta, or out towards the hills in the other direction beyond the village of Upparapalli and Upparapalli checkpost on the bypass road.

Up the road passed the rail crossing to Dairy farm etc     TOP Pictures of my walks up past rail crossing to Thumulagunta Road and L.S. Nagar by the Chamundeshwan temple

Mending the level crossing. This closed the road for a glorious silent week

My friend the crossing keeper. Occasionally provided tea when he was bored.

The backside [as they say] of the temple. He seems to be offering his wife a potato

The usual mix of cricket and goats

She nearly dropped it all when I said Namaste - I got a one handed gesture - polite as always

These have become much more rare in Tirupati itself

Beautiful evening walk in real countryside
