The story

Strawberry morning below Table Land: close by, a plant at the edge of the near row hangs ripe berries over the red earth; beyond it a traveller kneels at a row to pick, a small basket at his side, and Table Land's flat top stands on the skyline.

Why this picture

Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar grow India's best-known strawberries (GI-tagged), in farms of low plants in rows on the plateau's red laterite, their white flowers and red berries among three-part toothed leaves; picking peaks from December to February under clear, cool skies. Above the town, Table Land is a dead-flat laterite plateau with sheer scarps, silver oaks planted in British times line its roads, and green bee-eaters hawk insects in the morning light.

The sky wears Khovar, from Hazaribagh, Jharkhand.

The motion

The near plants stir; the silver oaks sway; green bee-eaters cross the whole sky; clouds drift; the sun's rays turn. A 16-second loop.

Another moment in Panchgani

A second scene: another true moment at Panchgani, drawn in the graphic vocabulary with the animals and city symbols that belong there. Wide for screens, tall for a phone held upright.

The story

A clear winter sunset at the edge of Table Land: on the plateau's flat laterite top a traveller rides a pony led by its pony-man, a black kite wheels over the Krishna valley, a paraglider drifts across the sky and the Dhom reservoir lies below the flat-topped hills as the sun goes down.

Why this moment

Table Land, the bare laterite plateau above Panchgani (about 1,380 m), is the town's sunset point: ponies walk visitors across its dead-flat top, its scarps fall to the Krishna valley and the long Dhom reservoir, and paragliders fly the Panchgani ridges from October to May under clear winter skies. Black kites ride the updrafts along the scarp.

The motion

A paraglider drifts across the whole sky; a black kite wheels over the valley; the setting sun's fan of rays breathes; the reservoir's rows run; the pony swishes its tail. A 16-second loop.

Table Land, the laterite plateau above Panchgani (about 1,380 m), one of the longest in Asia: a bare, dead-flat top, golden-dry most of the year, with sheer scarps falling to the Krishna valley; ponies walk it.

Panchgani's strawberries go into jams, syrups and crushes sold all through the town; a bottle of crush makes the strawberry milkshake.
