Every morning would be misty... fog pats not only the tea plants but our hearts also...

(Western ghats are the row of mountains at the southwest of India. Its south end separates the states Kerala and Tmail Nadu. This south portion is almost continuous and have thick green beautiful forest.
The very famous Ootty, Kodiakanal, Thekkadi, Silent Valley, Parambikulam national park, Munnar, Chinnar, Kuttalam, Thirunelli, Valpara etc etc all are in these range.

There are only a few notches through which the roads connecting two southmost states. Palghat pass is the widest one and NH47 and railway goes through this. Almost all the other ways are through thicky hill forest and tourists can fulfill their minds with great pleasure. I like very much the travel through this mountaineous roads.

One beautiful and amazing route is `Chalakkudi' - `Pollachi'. Chalakkudi is in Kerala and Pollachi in Tamil Nadu. You can see big group of wild elephants while passing through here. The famous `Athirappalli' waterfall, `Vazhachal', Sholayar dam, Malakkappara Tea estates, Valpara, Aliyar Dam etc are sonses of this path.

A few weeks ago I had a travel through this road and I camped at `Valpara' for a day. I consider the Valpara as Munnar of TamilNadu. I know that Valpara is as beatiful as Munnar of Kerala. But the tourists are not coming much because of the lack of exposure and inconvenience in transportation.)

Hi Pramod, I like this composition very much; the soft green grass of the hills, the curves of the terracing, and the low clouds against the far hills are a nice contrast to the stark black straight tree trunks. Good sharpness and colors. Your choice of frame compliments the photo well. Thanks for sharing. Best Regards, Linda

Hi Pramond,
Wonderful shots you got from this amazing place. This composition is truly marvellous! The several hills with the stripes in contrast with the vertical trees and the fog on the background make a very nice atmosphere. Well done again!

Great symmetry in this huge space
I like the Space and the rhythm that is created by the trees
The green color the mist and the black vertical lines make it a good composition

Hello Pramod,

You keep posting beautiful green landscapes. Very nice effect by the dark trees against the wonderful green color. Excellent job!

Hi Pramod,

Very hilly and very green. Such a strong green colour looks very nice. And the low hanging clouds and mist gives a fascinating atmosphere.

Well done.

hi Pramod
what a beauty... together mist n greenery rock!!! two things that I love in this composition... firstly the winding track amongst the green dunes which leads my eyes from left to right.... and secondly the trees... they seem to be conveying some message... something sad... there are so many of them and yet every tree is so alone... I can't really get the message... did you get it Pramod???

Excellent capture ..

Mind Blowing Kumar, well done
