Color changing flower

This flower was brought to office by Arshiya, a colleague. It is called Hibiscus Mutabilis, also known as Confederate Rose or Cotton Rose-mallow. The flower was white in the morning, turned pink during noon and red in the evening.

Have you seen a tractor tire closely?

Chances the answer is "no" are high.

Here is a pair of tractor tires. One closer is barely used and other one is well used and worn. These tires are suitable for 20HP and 40HP tractors. Tire for 50HP and 60HP tractors is slightly larger than the one seen here.

See how thick the treads are. Tractor tires are the largest and toughest among road vehicles.

The V-treads gain traction in most terrains and conditions; dry, wet, tarmac, dirt, rocks, sand...

Farm tractor drivers often use water-filled tubes instead inside the tires. Water increases the weight and improves traction. However, water filled tubes give one hell of a time when there's a puncture.

PS: Some of you may be wondering why I'm posting such colorless and lifeless pictures. Frankly speaking, I was busy traveling for the past few weeks and pampering Journeys across Karnataka when not traveling. Few days back day a friend sent an email asking why Life at Dharwad is lifeless... Well, I have no intentions of abandoning Life at Dharwad. Colors will be back soon.

Swastika

Just before I drew Skull n Bones, I worked on this Swastika.

This was made about 2 months ago, what I did last week was redraw it.

This is not the original photo but a slightly edited image.

Skull n Bones

I was on the office terrace after work. Picked up a pebble and starting scratching one of the concrete columns. End of five minutes this skull was staring at me.
