    Views from a houseboat on the Kerala backwaters - image heavy

    We spent almost a full day and night on a houseboat, sailing the backwaters in Kerala, India. These are all opportunistic shots I grabbed as I saw the subject. Moments later they were gone..

    Sailing the backwaters in Kerala.

    That is something we always said we would do one day. Now, of course, that will never happen. Your pictures bring a tear!

    They are also very lovely pictures.

    I suspect you understand (all too well), why Georgette and I are doing this traveling now; sooner rather than later.

    Coming back to view the images again with out the baggage of personal memories, they do, as Dave suggests, make up a fascinating and high, high quality gallery of images.

    Wonderful travel photography.

    Manfred, I just want to revisit India. This time in relative comfort. Beautiful shots as well as being informative.
    Cheers Ole

    A book Susan and I have taken a leaf out of over the last two years. Absorbing set of images Manfred and a great idea to arrange matters so that you can sit back and let the photo opportunities come to you.
