My Cochin pics are nearing over.
This one was taken on a lake near our resort.

Most of the pics in the coming days are going to be sea-sky types. I hope you all don't mind that. I love those kind of pics. smile.gif



Hildebrand,

I also like such pictures. Nature is so beautiful. Please post more pics.

Lakshmi ji's thread has inspired me to start a thread. I'll upload pictures I have taken or those got from other sources as well for all to enjoy. (I'll post irregularly though).


Starting with a set of pictures taken during a recent Kerala trip
I mostly stayed in Cochin and Kumarakom, so most pics shall be from there.

The first one is of view of the sea taken at Cochin(Kochi for the politically correct).


Very nice pics HB. This one is so pretty. Can see the breeze swaying the tree. Waiting for more. smile.gif

Thanks a lot Lakshmi ji and Madhavi for the appreciation. I'll be uploading the pics slowly.

The next one I am putting up is a view of backwaters while going to Kumarakom. The morning light wasn't as good as I would have liked plus I could zoom only so much. The view was quite awesome with lots of trees. When I think of Kerala at the moment, I remember trees and lots of waterbodies everywhere.

This is another one which we took when we were passing on a bridge on the way to Kumarakom. My next installment in coming days will start with Kumarakom pictures where we spent a couple of days so will have many more to show from there. (I think I'll upload them maybe two at a time to keep this trip running for sometime!).

This was probably shot with window rolled up. Was that the case? did you have flash on too?

Yes the window was rolled up. The car was passing by and suddenly we saw this view. We didn't have enough time to capture it and caught it through the window only. Getting a great view happened more than a few times on the trip but not all could be caught unfortunately on camera. smile.gif

If other than the lovely sky and waterbodies I saw, the greenery and birds I saw there stand out for me.

Here's another one by the road with trees and some birds.

Next a view of the hotel in Kumarakom where we stayed. The garden was quite good with a variety of trees from palms to even a cashewnut tree (It had fruits also. Eating led to acidic burns. Avoid. ohmy.gif ).

Singer Srinivas had this to say about Kumarakom, “Imagine opening your eyes every morning to a sheet of still, blue water and majestic palm tress gently swaying in the breeze. To define the feeling in one sentence: Nature undisturbed by man is wonderful and inspiring, and Kumarakom is just that!”

Now you know what to expect from the Kumarakom pictures. smile1.gif

Like I mentioned Kumarakom has the backwaters. We had gone for a boatride into the backwaters one particular day. There are small motorised boats available at an hourly rate. There are other bigger ones well equipped ones with bedrooms/Satellite TV etc at 12K per day also available! It was a lovely boat ride in this huge lake called Vembanad lake.
There are houses and resorts which can be seen while travelling.

For more details on Kerala Backwaters refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_Backwaters

This particular picture has a mango tree loaded with mangoes. Oh how I love mangoes. smile.gif

This is one of the big boats families book for the day (the 8K variety I was told). Note the AC in the house boat. The Kerala House Boats are called Kettuvallams smile.gif

Kumarakom has a lovely bird sanctuary which has lots of bird with a canopy at top. It has the lake towards one side and I show a side view of part of it here. Mostly the greenery is seen. More of it will come later.
