The national park is rich in flora and fauna of various animal and plant varieties; however, it's not easy to locate all kinds of animals during a safari lasting for a little over three hours but the author was lucky to have glimpses of a moving tiger.

Now let us imagine going to Krka National Park to see the Skrandinski Buk waterfall there. It covers a huge landmass of 109 square meters. Here we don’t encounter the immensity of Niagara despite its huge spread, but one feels becoming one with the widespread blanket of waterfalls. These waterfalls cascading down the basin still produce an awe. This awe is not because of the sheer size of the waterfall, but because this blanket of falls has taken you in their embrace, making you a part of it.Sat, 31 May 2025 00:00:00 -0500https://www.boloji.com/articles/54817/krka-national-parkhttps://www.boloji.com/articles/54704/bamboo-scapeWhat is Bamboo-Scape?

The tune is provided by man, the rhythm by nature and the song by the Heavens. The three components of the symphony are called the ragam (tune), thanam (rhythm) and pallavi (song), in the classical south Indian musical tradition. The paintbrush that stroked nature so broadly and boldly is celestial. This inspires the background for the song, in which man perceives the tune and the nature provides the beat and the rhythm.

The inspirations for the melody are introspection as well as meditation. It is the impulse of man that gives form to the tune.

The tune created by the human mind blends with the surrounding nature, and in its cohesiveness springs forth the song. The combination is purely celestial.
