After Fort Kochi, Kerala Backwaters were my next stop. But instead of the traditional places Travspire offered me a cycling, walking and boating trip with my base at Breeze Backwater Homes in Kuthiathode. My room there was literally five steps away from the backwaters. Before lunch I had gulped two cups of tea and spent…

Dawn at Durban
I had a sea facing room at Durban and the sunrise used to happen from the sea. This was the fabulous dawn one day at Durban. And i would wake up at dawn because of the 3.5 hours difference between India and South Africa. This is a hand held photograph from a 75-300 lens. Not…
The Sky and Skyline at Durban, South Africa
For today’s sky watch I present Durban again. There is uShaka Marine World at Durban and the beach behind it. We took a taxi to go there but we walked back to our hotel from the beach. While walking back I would always lag behind the group, I just kept clicking pictures. The walk was…
Sunrise at Durban, South Africa
I am not a sunrise person, there was a time when I could blissfully sleep through all the sunrises in the world. But that was before I started playing ‘photographer.’ I now try to get up at sunrise as I know it often makes for beautiful pictures. Doing so in Durban was not too difficult…
Exploring Durban on a Sunny Day!
I arrived at Durban really tired and crumpled. And by the time I could even vaguely take stock it started raining. And it rained for more than a day almost continuously. And then today morning when I very reluctantly opened my eyes this was the view that greeted me right out of my hotel window! I hope…
Beaches in South Sri Lanka
Even though I am a mountain person I do like to take beach vacations as well. In South Sri Lanka we visited three beaches in all. We stayed at Unawatuna and did Mirissa and Matara as day trips. As I prepare to take the connecting flights back home tomorrow, I will leave with images from…
That Knock on my Hotel Door at Goa!
I usually have a very normal stay (and thank God for that) whenever I travel. This year in March I was in Goa and I was staying at what I am sure was not your typical Goa budget hotel. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against budget hotels in Goa or for that matter…
People at Baga Beach, Goa
I usually refrain from clicking people. But on this day while generally pointing my camera at the sea and the golden light on it, for a moment without thinking much, I turned and clicked this picture. You can see that the three guys are also pretty unaware and walking. But the one on the right…
Sun, Sand and Sea, Goa
Decided to post a few more pictures from Goa. This one was clicked at Anjuna Beach. The lady in the center was trying to play volleyball with one person but there were quite a few people just hanging around. I did the banana boat ride this time. The composition of our group was such that…
