Higher than clouds


Monsoon season isn't the best time to visit Kerala but, if you can live with sudden showers outside of your private bathroom, it has its charm.

When you cross the Western ghats up to Munnar or Periyar, you're likely to be less hot but pretty much wetter.
Actually I was cold in Thekkady, and we couldn't do the long trek in the tiger sanctuary because of the leeches, so we left the forest to drive on winding roads, among the plantations, up the hills in the mountain, to remarkable viewpoints. I did my best to capture the moment and the changing sight. Some good shots were missed, some pictures were lost.

The sky was low and heavy; the residual fog made us believe we stood higher than clouds...

...walking in green pastures, with animals of the sacred variety.

















But there's always a moment that comes, when you have to go down.





And that's when the mists won.
