I would like to apologize in advance if I am violating any of the forum rules in doing so.
A devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake has struck Nepal, causing severe destruction and loss of lives and properties. At least 4000 people are now known to have died with more than 7000 injured so far. The numbers are increasing every hour. The most affected areas are the picturesque hills and towns of Gorkha, Lamjung, Kathmandu valley, Banepa, Chitwan and surrounding areas.
The beautiful town of Kathmandu with all its temples, heritage and architecture is in ruins with many temples in the palace squares destroyed. There are many people stranded and homeless in beautiful Annapurna consercation Area (ACAP).
Hospitals are overcrowded, treating people in the streets and running out of emergency supplies. Most of the pictures and news circulating in the internet and other media is from in and around Kathmandu valley. The power is out and communications are badly affected and there is no definite assessment of damage, destruction and loss of life from remote areas. Most areas near the epicentre, in and around district of Gorkha and Lamjung have been flattened. A lot of places are inaccessible due to landslides and wide spread road damage.
Many people are stranded out in open in rain with more rain forecast for rest of the week. Many have lost their family, friends and homes. They are in desperate need of help, they are in desperate need of hope. Even a dollar you could space would make a difference.

Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to give a hint of wilderness in the background so I didn't go for a tighter crop.

My entry for photo contest. Bar-headed geese in Chitwan National Park, early in the morning while boating down the calm and chilly Narayani River in the plains of Nepal. They migrate to southern asia in winter crossing the the himalayan range from central asia, their summer habitat.

I don't know about Canberra but I saw a few in Brisbane and they looked the same, fast, shy and tiny little slithers.
these in the pics were barely 10 cm long. I would love to see a blue tongue. Heard they can be quite friendly.

First time posting picture in the forum after lurking around for sometime.
This is a commonly found lizard in garden around the University of Western Australia. The photos were taken with reversed A50 mm f2 lens. I am beginning to learn photography so any suggestion would be welcome.
The last photo is a crop of the first one. Apologies for not knowing technical terms like crop percent.
