Living Raptor
If I was in the team which design the movie Jurassic park, I would have definitely used this creature as a model to design the Velociraptors (Raptors).I took this picture in Kandy, near a farm in Digana area,many thanks to my friend Ruchira for showing me this guy.Look at its vivid skin, golden scales placed just like a knights amour on top, velvet like skin underneath,if you zoom in to its brown eyes it will make you shiver (thanks to my new 18X Panasonic camera) .Look at its ear and the pattern of the perfectly placed scales, truly Jurassic isn't it, fascinating too.This creature has a bad reputation in Srilanka, not for its viciousness but as a result of a myth. It says that if bitten by one the only cure is to find sand from the seas and stars from the skies. Unfortunately,It never bites, so the myth continued to exist for centuries. I have never seen the beauty of this creature until now, maybe because of the same reason of believing the myth when I was a kid. By the way this is one of my best photographs.Recently I have started 3D modeling again, Something to do with my new job, I might even design my own velociraptor using this picture, stay tuned.

Happy New Years! Cool blog. Will you help me with something? I am not from Atlanta, but I go to Atlanta Job Corps and I live here. Job Corps is a federal training program for students 16--24 and helps us get our diplomas and jobs. Well, the Atlanta center is a hostile living environment and I decided to blog about it.
My point in this is that I need at least 100 comments on my blog before I email it to the Department of Labor. I have photographic images of the center--good and bad. I just want you to visit my blog, look at the photos, read the posts, and leave a comment. Please will you help me?
