A large-billed crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) seemingly balancing the setting sun on its beak.

Close by, along with other large-billed crows were also some small and big murders of House Crows (Corvus splendens).

These photo were taken during the festival of Pongal when people call and feed crows who are the links to ancestors.

🌾 Indian harvest traditions resonate across continents this week. Watching our "many midnights" unfold in real time!

From Tamil kolam to Telugu muggulu, from Punjabi bonfires to pongal sweetly bubbling, Indian diaspora worldwide transform harvest into renewal. Clay pots overflow with this harvest dish beside sugarcane as cattle receive garlands.

This is how agricultural calendars create fresh beginnings. Time blooms differently everywhere. See below.

Harvest smiles, spread happiness, and cherish every moment.
Happy Pongal 🌞🌾
