Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
Spending a day away from the "madding crowd", our daily chores and onshore busy life, floating in the solitude of cool breeze-laden and vast back-waters of Kerala is truly a relaxing experience.
These House- Boats are fuly furnished one/two bed room houses with attached baths and kitchen. The crew includes one cook too to prepare and serve you local specialities.. Karimeen ( a local fresh water fish)and Konchu(lobster) are well-known sea food varieties.
The houseboats in Kerala, south India, are huge, slow-moving, exotic barges used for leisure trips. They are a reworked model of Kettuvallams (in the Malayalam language, Kettu means "tied with ropes", and vallam means "boat"), which, in earlier times, were used to carry rice and spices from Kuttanad to the Kochi port. Kerala houseboats were considered a convenient means of transportation.
The popularity of Kettuvallams has returned in the function as major tourist attractions.
Such a houseboat is about 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 m) long and about 15 feet (4.6 m) wide at the middle. The hull is made of wooden planks that are held together by ropes of coconut fiber; the usual wood is 'Anjili'. The roof is made of bamboo poles and palm leaves. The exterior of the boat is painted with protective coats of cashew nut oil.
These hammock poles are such a great idea. It is fun to watch the young people come with their hammocks, books and music after school.

Eat. Rest. Fetch. Rest.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Such is the life of Toby, shown here in the first Relax phase.
Of course, the ball is never far away.

This is me at the Japanese tea house at Hakone Gardens, Saratoga, enjoying a green tea after meditation.
I processed three RAW exposures into a soft HDR photo, then added some highlights and shadows to make it look natural. This is an example where three exposures really make a difference due to high dynamic range of the scene.
