The beach is really tranquil. Connected to Gavkhadi village…tree cultivation looks wonderful. The beautiful sunset, lake, beach, and calm winds bring peace of mind. It is close to Purnagad Fort and approximately 30-40 minutes from Ratnagiri City. For any needs or items, you can visit Gavkhadi village, where there are medical and general

Another stellar post @Praniketmore

The place is delightful and the efforts of the environment-friendly citizens of Gaonkhadi village are commendable :+1:

Very, very interesting, dear @Praniketmore ,

I too have read about this Ridley Turtle Conservation…not able to recollect.

Your post is really informative and helpful… Great… So proud of you, dear…

The video is good, but a bit editing can make it even more interesting…Just my thoughts… You can keep the video public (not for children only - need more info, contact me) and then we can add comments.

The photos are very appealing and contextual too…

I’m also adding a shot I captured from Surat Aquarium:

Hope you will like it.

Regards

However I see that some “not original” content hasn’t been removed.

Please be aware that with the aid of Google Search and Google lens every Stolen content is quite easy to be detected.

Using content not originally yours is not only against the values of the community, but in several countries is also against the law. In Italy the fine for every stolen photo can vary from 300 to 3000 Euro :euro: , plus six months of prison. In your country the original content is protected by the Copyright Act 1957.

To avoid any legal issue to you Google is usually removing the contents, when they discover the violation, but it would be much better if the author of the post (you) understand the mistakes and fixes it in advance.

Thank you

Hi @ErmesT I understand that it is ethical to write a post with original content. I still remember your positive comments for my posts for being original. Whereas the information what you have given here that how Google search and lens aids in detecting the stolen content is new to me. Thanks for your guidance and being helpful.

@Praniketmore in one of my previous replies, I had mentioned that I got motivation and guidance from many senior Local Guides. @ErmesT is one for making my posts special.

Of course, @Gurukrishnapriya

You can get the exact text, of a similar one that can have “inspired” the one you use.

It works fine on Chrome, both on mobile and desktop

Thanks again @ErmesT for explaining. Will check. This sounds interesting. Yes now I learnt. Your explanation is very easily understandable. Thanks for taking up the strain and sharing the knowledge.

While conducting drawing competitions I had used Google Lens for finding whether a picture is copied. Now I came to know how content can also be checked.
