ColorChallenge Thursday Green Backwaters Kerala

in #colorchallenge6 years ago

This is the beautiful view from our Kanu while paddling around the backwaters near Alleppey, Kerala. This was the most relaxing and peaceful way to explore the narrow little waterways. Maybe the most peaceful place in India :-)

Good morning!!
This is a beautiful photo and reminds me of a nice, quiet time on these backwaters. 2 times I went with a houseboat and stayed there too. It was pure luxury. We had 1 living room, bedroom, bathroom on the boat and 3 people crew. The boat was then pushed with bamboo poles and we drove quietly along the banks with the friendly Indians along.
This was a long time ago and there where still a few houseboats without an engine.

There were so many houseboats on the bigger canales. Unfortunately, they all run on a diesel engine now. I would be really happy about an upvote from you too! Thanks

It's spring here in Germany but still cold and only very few plants are already growing.
I'm missing all these green shades

Yes, I can remember these times :-) It's unbelievably lush down there in Kerala!

I don't know how you managed it but especially when viewed full-screen, you have captured great tranquility, despite there being quite a few people in the frame. I can hear the gentle splash of the oar and maybe a tropical bird in the adjacent greenery. For the rest I'm drowsily drifting along.
