ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Patrolling Hippo
Different from all other large land mammals, hippos are of semi aquatic habits, spending the day in lakes and rivers.

The name comes from the ancient Greek for “river horse”. After the elephant and rhinoceros, the common hippopotamus is the third-largest type of land mammal and the heaviest extant artiodactyl. Despite their physical resemblance to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates, the closest living relatives of the Hippopotamidae are cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.) from which they diverged about 55 million years ago.

AUTHOR
Born from humble beginnings in Guruvayoor, Kerala, I have been capturing images from over two decades. There is nothing I love more than documenting my life, my experiences, my travels, the world around me through my photography. Based in Dubai for the past 20 years, I have been passionately and selflessly indulged in finding 'beauty' of and in any form and trapping it through my lens. Articulating my life and journey as a photographer is beyond the bounds of my vocabulary, but you can find some of the fragments, in my photographs. I am 'a story teller of sorts' - capturing moments and transforming them into beautiful and fond memories that I love to re-visit and I am confident that you would also want to.

I capture the beauty in the smallest of things around me and I wish to share the beautiful moments which you may have missed, to help you be stunned, to let you pause and to let you immerse yourself in it, to help you to be grateful to the creator and hence be able to seek and find beauty in all you see!
