A trip to home - Part 1

Hurray!! It was a long weekend. And quite naturally with some last minute hurry-burry I managed to reach my home town on a beautiful Saturday morning. After quite some time, I had an opportunity to visit my home town during the Independence Day weekend. And the trip became just perfect with the ‘season’ being at its very best this year. Courtallam (a place nearby our town) is famous for its ‘Saaral’ apart from its waterfalls – you have to be there to realize this experience. It would rain, the sun would be out, and you feel that you are getting wet, but as you reach home you would see that you are quite dry! And you would feel like giving away all yourself to enjoy that wonderful breeze that gently caresses your body and you tend to lose your soul for that! This is one of the very unique gifts of nature that I was privileged to enjoy throughout my life. With our place fastly losing its identity of being one of the serene places around, in the name of ever expanding tourism, this year Mother Nature still showed her mercy on this cute little town. I captured some of those moments and here are they for your views and comments…

The ever imposing Rajagopuram from our terrace. The pegions are offering their prayer by flying round the gopuram. Its about to dawn...




And a picture perfect sun rise...








Rays of the Sun God glorifies the majesty of the Rajagopuram. With dark clouds lurking in the back, you feel divinity!




Will post some more snaps in the next one...
