Well i see what you mean Vandana..
Wonderfull photo .. All acording the rules.. ''ship shape' ' shot!!

Than your romantic mood..
Pour you .. all was there and than you have to see the skinny sex-less legs of this sailor-man..

Hardley a George Clooney .. right ?
(*____*)
Nevertheless.. I like your story.
Perfect harmony with the photo.

There, everything’s order and beauty,
calm, voluptuousness and luxury.
See, down the canals,
the sleeping vessels,
Those nomads, their white sails furled:
Now, to accomplish
your every wish,
They come from the ends of the world.

beautiful note Vandana!! sorry... it makes me think to Baudelaire..
it's a nice capture.. i remember "the lovely sunset".. now i could understand more that atmosfere!.. not really as venice.. maybe better..

Hi Vandana! Very nice scenery. I wanna go there someday, I have a lot of friends from Kerala. Very good perspective with your POV. Your font even looks like a Malayalam script, we had newspaper subscription of that in our office in Dubai :)
Cheers!

Hi Vandana,

Lovely image from KERALA.
ALAPPUZHA is known as the VENICE of the east..
Travelling through the backwaters and the inland water paths really is fantastic...
Memorable shot , and heartfelt words...

Hello Vandana,

With the fire turned to the top, the curtains draped snuggly across the windows and warm jumpers covering our bodies, this vision is almost like a dream! Is the weather ever really so idyllic?

You have created a lovely mood here, my friend!
I like the pov, which makes one feel to be in the boat!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Vandana,

Sitting in such a boat gives you (and us) a wonderful POV. How nice a time you must have had - Kerala - the place where the Sandelwood grows - the place where people and nature are in balance and hopefully your boat as well. Don't go eating that whole box of chocolats and if you do don't blame the dutch food if walking around is going to be a problem!
Lovely Vandana, TFS
Have a nice weekend,

Mmm... the shot doesn't look that romantical to me, Vandana... but then again, according to Ann I'm not a romantic person. I do like the scenery however. Maybe I'd have cloned out the top of the bamboo stick to detach it from the top.
Anyway, TFS.

I always like slanting coconut trees hanging out to the sea, Vandana, and you have captured it well here. The boat is only partly visible, so I can imagine you are shooting from the other end. And boatman is only standing tall. Well done. TFS
