Captured in 2010 at Kukerhalli kere in Mysore. It had decided to cross the walking path at around sunset, and I tried to get a view of what the world looks like from it's perspective...out of focus though! :-)

From Wikipedia: Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta, is a hill (betta in Kannada) located in the Chamarajanagar district of the state of Karnataka,at a height of 1450m India and is extensively wooded. It is also the highest peak in the Bandipur National Park. It lies in the core area of the Bandipur National Park and is frequented by wild life including elephants. Dense fog predominates and covers the hills round the year and thus gets the prefix Himavad(in the native language of Kannada) and the temple of Venugopalaswamy (Lord Krishna) gives the full name of Himavad Gopalaswamy Betta.

It is approximately 220 km from Bangalore and 75 km from Mysore on the Mysore Ooty road -10 km away from Gundlupet,which is 60 km away from Mysore. There is a motor-able road all the way to the top of the hill. Entry fee is collected at the forest department check post at foot of the hill.Materials used for pooja (prayers) alone such as flowers,fruits,Incense sticks etc are permitted.other food items are not permitted to be carried in.All these materials should be carried in non plastic bags.Entry fee has been revised w.e.f.
