End of Netting
Fort Cochin is where we found Patrick and Mary of Heavenly Homestay,Fortcochin (11/639, Machenzie Garden Road, Pattalam, Thamaraparambu, Kochi, Kerala 682001, India. Phone: +91 98470 33818), who really made us feel at home and exuded much love, respect and goodwill. It was the best place I have stayed in during three trips to India.
Sunrises in this part of the world seemed to be as lazy and as much fun as sunsets.
I left the bed-and-breakfast, Heavenly Homestay, while it was still dark one morning and headed to the harbour entrance near the Chinese fishing nets.
Crows, dogs, other birds and fishermen with cast nets were getting ready for the day. Other fishermen were also readying their canoes to paddle in and around the harbour entrance with their nets.
As with all such occasions in India, I found that the sun rose very slowly and mildly into the morning sky.
I watched the fishermen throw their nets into the fast moving channel littered with reeds and other rubbish; none of the aforesaid assisting the efforts to catch a few minute fish every few throws.
Nevertheless, they persisted and moved up and down the channel bank in search of the elusive little fish.
The set of photos included above and below are of this morning.
The photo showing the young gentleman hanging from a tree was taken after I had finished taking photos at the waterfront. I headed down a small alley hoping to find some golden light peering through the trees.
I noticed the large tree and light rays in front of me, and took a few photos before the young gentleman is seen in the photo jogged past. I was not planning on including persons in my photos but to my surprise the gentleman launched himself up at the overhanging branch and commenced with a set of pull-ups.
I thought this to be an excellent photo opportunity and snapped a few photos of what might be his early morning ritual.
