Beautiful Kerala, uncut...again!!

These photos I took while travelling from Trivandrum to Ernakulam by train. Once the city limits are off, there are alot of paddy fields, backwaters, coconut groves (for which kerala is famous for!) on either sides....

This was a sunset which I happened to see accidently from my home's terrace. It was accidental cos, i rarely go to my home-terrace.

Another view from my terrace (pls ignore the water tank of our neighbors)...Those yellow flowers are the "konna" flowers which are down, beside the road.

Those are the mangoes, which in fact can be plucked from the terrace, using bare hands!
