This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature and Weather Photos
Tracking tigers in Ranthambore Forest, I descended a dry grey valley. On the opposite side of the valley I discovered some lovely red blooming trees. I prepared my 600m tele on the tripod, and as I was composing the image I suddenly saw Hanuman langurs, which were treating themselves to the sweet red blossoms.
