Bamboo
| The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists. |
| ~Japanese Proverb |
Things came before people. |
| People came before words. |
| |
| Tall, green, and nameless, |
| bamboo walked down centuries |
| and crossed continents |
| in time to stand there, waiting, |
| naked of language, |
| when the first people came |
| to make the first village. |

I have always been fascinated by bamboo trees. They look so stong, resilient and elegant. Did you know that the bamboo actually belongs to the grass family?

On a related note.
Several subtropical bamboo species can grow 30 cm (1 foot) per day, with some species having been documented as growing over 100 cm in one day
Bamboo is the main food of the Giant Panda; it makes up 99% of the Panda's Diet.

Good captures, especially the first one.... Liked it....
Yes, Bamboo belongs to the grass family, and to add to it, it is the tallest member in that family....
Excellent pictures (including the previous post) and beautiful quotes!!
I think that the bamboo that bends expression that is used is to esplain the spiritual concept of surrender. Read it somewhere else as well. Very nice photographs.
I do share a fascination for the lovely trees as well. And you have put up a couple of wonderful pictures to go with it... :)

സുജി,
നല്ല ചിത്രീകരണം. ആദ്യ ചിത്രം ഒരല്പ്പം സോഫ്റ്റ് ഫോക്കസായോന്നൊരു സംശയം. മുളങ്കാടുകള് ഉണ്ടാക്കിയിരുന്ന ശബ്ദവും മുളങ്കാടുകള് തന്നെയും അന്യമായിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന ഈ കാലഘട്ടത്തില്, ഒരു നല്ല ഓര്മ്മപ്പെടുത്തലായി ഇത്.
മലയാളത്തില് എഴുതാന് ശ്രമിക്കുന്നതിനു നന്ദി! കാല്തെറ്റി വീഴാതെ നമ്മള് നടക്കാന് പഠിച്ചിട്ടില്ല.
സസ്നേഹം.

mm..take a trip from mysore to wayanad..u can find bamboos on either side giving it the shape of a church altar...thats a must see..
Oh.. I used to love those Bamboos too. They are so beautiful. I have heard in poems that the wind produced from Bamboo trees were a sort of music. I have never seen a thick bamboo forest to experience it. Your picture and post kindled my thoughts. Thanks.
