Suddenly yesterday night myself Debarghya Sengupta and Sreeram decided to visit nearby biotop and collect some hardscape material. I started morning 4 o clock from my room for the meeting point from there we started at 5 o clock for the destination and reached at 6 o clock, Its a beautiful place for hobbyist those who love collection trips, but due to huge highway overbridge work the whole place is 50% destroyed, not sure even after few rains also the biotop will get the proper condition to produce its diversity or not. Actually its a canal surrounded by big rocks(small hills) connected to the main lake, but due to the construction work they blocked the connection to the main lake so no flow of water inside the canal and its almost dried except two small left waterbody and some fishes, we didnt have any plan to collect any fish or shrimp so we mainly jump for rocks and wood. I guess In the rainy season all small trees will be half submerged in the main flow area, but in summer those trees are exposed fully and if they died they turn into some small thin drift wood also rocks are like you dont have to search at al. here are some PICs of the trip.
Morning time:

Check out the 7th picture, it will be a good inspiration for a simple scape.
