To be honest with you, this was a helmet-less ride.The only helmet we had didn't fit us both,either!! But i have taken care of not posting lidless pics while the bike is in motion.I hope that is OK with you!!

Btw, what does DQ stands for?..Is it Discussion Question or something else!!

I know i would be a laughing stock in xBhp for creating a history by updating a return journey in a long 5 months time. Felt really lazy to post the pics.In fact the post processing took a toll in me and then sorting and arranging the posts was a herculean task for me.But finally after all those months, I am finally updating those.

The Return Trip:

After having breakfast at Kalinga,it was time to retreat and gallop at those places which i had earmarked to take pics.My prime motive was to shoot HDRs and with that in mind getting the right spot was more important for me.Now, it was my turn to take the saddle and we started moving.The return journey as expected would be a downhill except for some minor uphill patches.After we left Kalinga we noticed a vast and dense forest area which were occupied by tall trees.They were so dense that underneath those trees it was almost dark.The 'Foliage' mode of the cam was helpful in getting those shots really well.I was always with this notion that the special modes provided in digicams are just for namesake but to my surprise those modes are also pre-set for ISO settings which is really helpful as they don't bump up the unwanted noise.

Standing tall!!

The forest section which looks straight from the road to Bhanjanagar from Kalinga.

Me posing!!

Please bear with some weird HDRs but i have tried my level best to get those HDRs right.

Landscape:

The 4x optical zoom at its full glory!!

Just as i was taking this pic, i noticed a FZ climbing the hill at blistering pace and taking the corner as if slicing knife through butter and that too with a pillion behind. I was like

after seeing that scene!!

Now enough of those HDRs, time for some photoshoot of myself!!

I think those mudflaps are a straight-lift from those of Trucks!!

Never-before-seen Shots of Splendor!!

Now this particular curve reminded of those found enroute Nandi Hills near Bangalore.Loved the greenery out here.This was a terrific place to take a pic and i quickly clicked pics and started to roll.

Awesome view from the upper reaches of the hill.

Time to get those HDRs right.My bro was constantly scratching his head to see me taking 3-5 shots of a particular scene!!

The temple and the waterfall which becomes active during rainy season!!

One of my favourite pics!!

I was looking for any Naxalite movement, down there!!

Customary or Mandatory!!

Had it been evening time, this place would have looked freakishly eerie!!

Just as we were nearing the Bhanjanagar town, we noticed the carpet of dry leaves lying besides the road, courtesy the spring season. Quickly stopped the bike on the middle of the road and like kids ran towards the side of the road and picked up handful of those dry leaves and put them near the bike to make the scene more enticing!!

Definitely the best 'state' highway i have ever come across.

2212

This is a huge lake which has been created by a nearby irrigation project.The place is breathtaking during rainy seasons.

Got 2-3 missed calls from uncle(cousin's dad) as he was curious to know about our whereabouts and i did inform mom about our status/location while we were having breakfast. When we reached home at around 11:30 , uncle did notice my evil grin and it was an easy guess for him to know where we actually visited.

This definitely is one of my favourite trips i have ever made.I was always intrigued by the name of this place but after having it conquered it on 2 wheels was never in my book of dreams.

That is absolutely weird. But the pics are refreshing and the 5 months seem to be nothing now.

BTW. Some pics are processed too much. It takes away the originality from them. DO see if you can get in the original ones instead of the over processed ones.

avinrichards · 08-20-2009, 12:10 AM

duh..! finally..

Must have had a blast..

i'm sure you are planning a return to the place with the "corner buddy..the Menace"..

Praful · 08-20-2009, 02:29 PM

Well the over-processed ones are the HDRs and some pics are processed overtly to make them look different!!
