Incredible India 2018
Part One
Location: Southern - India - Madurai - Periyar - Kochi
Welcome back to this website.
I am back with my latest work during a interesting journey
to some of the must see places in India. Wow, what a journey
it was. I am humbeled, excited, thankful to have seen these
places we have visited. I am blown away by the history, the
art and people of this very exciting place called: India, hence
why I call it Incredible India in my title.
Coming from Europe to Mumbai, a huge city in the excess
of 22 Million people living there it is quite something to see
the amount of people on the move. India has a population
of around 135 Million. The first thing you will notice coming
from Europe, is the density of people and cars and many other
form of transport. What looks at first like a major chaos,
actually and to my great surprize works very well. There is
hardly any aggression to be seen on the roads.
Part One deals with the Southern part of India, which is very
different to the Northern and central part. The journey sarted
in Madurai and took us through the Kardamom mountains.
The countryside in a lush and splendid green, rice, tea, banana
and fruit plantations. Crossing from the state Tamil Nadu into
Kerala to Thekkady which is the Spice Paradise of India.
Many spices like: Pepper, Kardamom & Cinnamon, just to
name a few are grown here.
A visit to the Periyar National Park moving torward the
South Western part of India staying two nights at the Marari
Beach Hotel in Mararikulam at the Arabian sea.
A full day House-boat trip from Alappuzha was a great day
to see the countryside from the water. Next stop was in Kochi
or also known as Cochin. A very important harbour for India.
A harbour cruise with a magic sunset complet our journey to
the Southern tip of India.
What realy is impressive is the gentleness and friendlyness of
the people in the South.I can only compare it to my second
home in Africa. Always a smile from kids to adults. It is a
dream for any photographer, since hardly ever you would find
a person who objects to be photographed. I think I fell in love
with this country and its culture from the second day onwards.
I love the people, the countryside, the many cultural sites with
the exquisite tempels and buildings and the vibrant colours.
Part Two will start in Delhi.
Best regards
Peter
