I was in Kerala for a short trip. In one of my morning walks at Kanakkary village, I came across a road named after Victor George. Upon googling, I found that Victor George was an Indian photographer who died while photographing landslides in Kerala. He was born in Kanakkary, the very place I was standing. I decided to explore the area where Victor might have found his early photography inspirations. Here's a photo tour...
The area is mostly wooded with rubber tree plantations...
Beautiful plants on the weedy roadside...
The three ducks seemed to be following the chicken who crossed the road for some apparent reason...
Ferns grow in the crevices of rock...
Nutmeg fruit...
A juvenile chameleon curled its tail upon seeing me...
Australian bottle plant flowers...
Latex dripping from a rubber tree...
I couldn't identify this...
A millipede walking around with its many legs...
Fruits hanging from trees...
An abandoned quarry...
A pink flower...
A mushroom...
A spider web...
Lantana flowers...
The ducks were again spotted on my way back. This time they were quacking vociferously as if to convey their contempt for photography.
Beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure!!! Loved going through the area with you...the ducks area adorable, and I love your narration about following the chicken to cross the road.
ReplyDeleteAll your images are superior!!! The flowers, the dripping rubber latex, the critters [that pose of the lizard is phenomenal]...everything in this post was great.

Love the ducks, and your humor. What a lovely walk. Neat to see the latex being gathered much the same way we gather maple sap here in the US. Wonderful photo series!
ReplyDeleteYour shots are always lovely, and those plants are all here with us being also tropical. I love having photo walks like what you did, it is just time which limits us.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos! Looks like you had a wonderful time exploring!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous selection of shots. I particularly like the geese.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! I never knew that nutmeg fruited. Learn something new all the time! Thanks for sharing with us at Photo Friday!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing photos. I especially love the little chameleon with his defensive stance and curly tail. Also the way they extract the rubber (is it latex) from the tree is really cool.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Each one is a stunner! I have that orange flower in my garden, one plant that was here already when I bought my house, I have no idea of it's name, but I love the foliage as well. I wonder if you know the name? Your Pink Saturday offering is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt is called Australian bottle plant.

An excellent variety of photos Shiju. I'm Australian & I've never heard of the Australian Bottle Plant before. They have beautiful flowers. I may have to investigate further & see if I can find one for our garden. The duck photos are lovely & the quarry looks like it would be a great place for a swim on a hot day..
