Valke ji, how do your posts appear continuous with photographs on black background ? While our posts show separate attachnents.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks for showing these images. 

[Dinesh Valke]

Thanks Anil ji for appreciation.

I "make" my posts using HTML in Google Sites. 

Anyone (you) can create a personal (and private) site in Google Sites.

Please check out and play around for a while until you get hang of it.

I insert my pictures, rather embed them from my flickr photostream. In other words they are not "attached" but are sought from flickr site.

You may try inserting pictures from your computer system and check whether you can copy-paste the post content from your Google Site to your email body. If all the content (text + pictures) show up on pasting, it hopefully must work for you.

Regards.

Dinesh

Thanks Dineshji, for telling us how you do it. Your way of presentation is very beautiful like looking at a photo album. And since there are not attachments, it saves space in our inboxes too. But how does the page look from your side? Do you have home page with entries for each item? And do you copy paste the whole page or just paste the link in your postings?

Best Regards,

Sid.

Thanks Sid ji for the appreciation.

Yes, besides making a post beautiful, it becomes easier on our inboxes as well as database.

At my end, the "page" resides as a template for specific location, like for example "Lalbagh Botanical Gardens". The content of that page gets replaced by the newest post that I send to our group. Thus my private site is just set of pages that serve as template for all the locations I am posting.

I copy-paste only the content that is to be posted. The link to the page will not serve the purpose; it is private, reachable by me alone. It is just a kind of scrapboard.

Regards.

Good one Dinesh ji

I was just wondering why this Kapok tree doesn't have a stem which is straight like all other Ceiba pentandra trees?

Thanks Satish ji.

The buttress roots have "grown high" along the stem almost until the first tier of branches, making it look as if the tree has branched at base,

What we see now is lateral growth, I assume about 15 - 20 times "axially". The girth of main stem has grown many fold, making all the subsequent tiers of branches look like growing from base.

When this same tree was of 10 - 15 years of age, it would have started with a straight green stem, just about 1 m diameter girth, with the first tier of branches at approx 18 feet / 6 m high. 

Here is a picture in Wikipedia, where we have two people standing near the tree. Absolutely enormous proportions.

Read more at Monumental trees.

The same species with similar structure is also seen in Mysore Curzon park.  I think I have posted the pictures earlier.

Thanks Mahadeswara ji.

Satish ji, I am not sure of the Times of India Evoke context.

I searched through eFI group for any post with those words, but was not able to find any post.
