Indian Blue Peacock
Many of the brilliant colours of the peacock plumage are due to an optical interference phenomenon. | | Such interference-based structural color is especially important in producing the peacock's iridescent hues, which shimmer and change with viewing angle, since interference-effects depend upon the angle of light (unlike chemical pigments). | | In the local folktales of India the peacock has a special place. A Punjabi folktale describes a Queen reqesting her husband not to hunt peacocks and tells that the peacock is her brother. | | In the Mayuri subtribe of Bhils in India, women take out their veils whenever they see a peacock and they are worshipped during festivals. | | Since photography is all about the "magic" created with a lens and light, this Indian Blue Peacock represents a truly worthy photographic subject
