South India:
Here is a shot of a canal in Kerala - we hired a ricebarge for 1 night and cruised around the laid back area of Allepey. Here's a view of a narrow canal that I took when we were out of the boat and walking through a remote village.

David,
It must be a nice trek inside this canal... it sounds to be so aventurus :-) Maybe, I little foreground item can add a attrive spot for the picture.
Thanks for sharing.

Yo David!

Great reflections and cool colours in this picture. The back waters are truely amazing and I think you've captured a nice quiet little vein in this amazing body of water.

Cheers

It is almost just about every photographer who goes to India, would come back with portraits and streets of India but a lot less on its landscape. You did well to be different David. At least I know, there are greens forest and rivers, and the smell of Mother Nature amidst the curry flavored countryside and betel juice.

Love this photo, that reminds me of my Belgian childhood (too long to explain) - colours are lovely, also the reflections in the water...
Bravo,
Cath.
(I hope that you won't mind if I add it to my theme !)

Hi David,
Taking a boat on the backwaters in Kerala was one of the things I wanted to do most in India, but unfortunately due to time could only do some of the Northern areas. Your shot though shows me how beautiful it is there. Nicely composed looking through the trees, the image has a wonderful tranquil feeling and I like the reflections on the calm waters.
Regards
Wanda

Lovely asian landscape, so soothing.
Well done David!

Thành.
