Hello TL...
Sometimes its hard to select what to upload...I've still so many photos from Hollad trip, and also from India trip....

So, today's photo is from my India trip.

State of Kerala is known for its hydro projects. At Munnar, there are lot of such hydro projects...but now not open for public.
But these little dams...definitely open for public to enjoy....
Not too huge...may be like a lake or a big pond...
Surrounded by the Eucaliptus woods, morning glory vines and the hills of tea garden...definitely makes enjoyable nature...

One such dam...few little boats...mostly the paddle ones....time of almost mid afternoon (needed to use the ND filter)...and sorry for the gray sky again....but not in my control.

Friends..enjoy the nature from Munnar....called as the Switzerland of India.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Regards, Vandana

Hello Vandana,
It is so wonderful to see places on TL we may never get to in real life.. thank you for sharing that.. this view is breathtaking..

Tricia

Hi Vandana,

That's a composition that I'd expect to be in the South of France. Really. So un-Indian! :-) But really nice. Yes, little to do about the greyish skyline... That to me is also quite un-Indian ;-).

Have a good weekend!

Hello Vandana

Well this one is a jewel. impressive use of the tree to fill in the flat sky. The mood is so relaxing - the trunks of the FG tree are perfectly captured. This one needed to be posted.

A beautiful image Vandana. Nicely composed and lovely colours. The wet season appears evident in the sky and light. TFS,

A nice note, Vandana, and a beautiful and appropriate quote from that 'small yet great' man.
Nice Pov too, though I always find it a pity that we don't see more of the scenery. This one calls out for a panoramic one, much wider than high...
Still, looks like a nice place to roam.

Hi Vandana!
Nice place to be.
Well taken.
