By day, Raj Mohan works for a company, but in his spare time he is an award-winning wildlife photographer who enjoys exploring India’s rich biodiversity. For nearly a decade, he traveled all over the country photographing the most beautiful views seen from the sky. During one of these many trips, he specifically documents the annual migration of flamingos to Lake Pulicat, in the state of Tamil Nadu. And you’ll see that the photos are a real feast for the eyes!

Every January, tens of thousands of flamingos visit this massive body of water, which is the second largest saltwater lagoon in the worldIndia. Obviously, Raj Mohan wasn’t the only one who went there as the event was widely promoted by the local tourism office. However, the photographer easily managed to get out of the game thanks to the beauty of his shots featuring flamingos in different formations.

“Watching this endless pink sea as tens of thousands of flamingos in the lake is a dream. Moreover, flamingos are social birds that live in colonies and stick together for many reasons. Their behavioral traits are very impressive and by capturing them from an aerial perspective, I was able to realize that their flight movements are very artistic.” Raj Mohan told our colleagues at My Modern Met.
