Hello Local Guides,
Greetings from India. First of all, wishing you a very Happy New Year 2023, may this year brings Joy and Happiness with Health and Wealth .
I am happy to share the very first photo of 2023 which I uploaded on Google map. I click this photo on my smart phone and uploaded on Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali, Mumbai, India. It is great Nature’s place and luckily I stay inside this National Park. The above is Landscape mode and below is Portrait mode.
It was a morning 08:30 Hrs and the National Park was closed as it is weekly close on Monday. Hence, I got this photo where there were no any visitors. The atmosphere was so pleasant and sun rays were stunning. So I thought to click and uploaded on maps which may help others to understand the atmosphere in National park during this winter time. The temperature is always less here than the outside of National Park. Hence, the environment made to click the photo and upload on Google maps.
Have you uploaded first photo of 2023 on Google map? Please share with us here. It will be pleasure to see you photos.
Appreciate & admire your talent - congratulations, very dear @Rohan10
Wish you a blessed New Year 2023.
I also join our @TusharSuradkar 's opinion that I too am seeing such a clear shot of "Crepuscular Rays" in India.
I did a ‘Xmas Mall Crawling’ (in Bangalore) last week; the following are the first 2 photos of 2023 added in Google Maps for Nexus Mall, Bangalore (Here).
