A view of Matupetty Lake @ Munnar - Kerala, India.
IN FLICKR EXPLORE ON 8-10-2012, # 358
Nestled inside the hills of Munnar IN Kerala State, India, and very near to the Anamudi peak lies Mattupetty, the hill station at a height of 1,700 m. Mattupetty is located 13 km away from Munnar. Here you can enjoy the greenish valleys and feel the fabulous climate around. The main attraction of Mattupetty is the dam and the lake here.
The dam of Mattupetty is a storage concrete gravity dam. The dam was constructed under the Pallivasal Hydro-electric project in the late 1940s, for the purpose of water conservation and power generation. Now the dam is a vital source of electricity generation in Munnar and also a haven for many wild animals and birds due to its constant water availability.
The most attractive part of Mattupetty dam is its still water which reflects the tea garden around. You can engage yourself with water sport activities like speed boating organized by district Tourism Promotion Council of Idukki (Munnar) and enjoy the pretty natural surroundings of this beautiful dam. Adventure lovers also have options here like trekking in the Shola forest.
In the midst of the hills, surrounded by the tea gardens, Shola forest and hilly woods lays a beautiful lake, just a few miles away from the Mattupetty dam. The serene ambience of the lake will take you to a world of peace. You have endless options ĂąâŹâ either you can go for boating in the lake or you can sit on the shore enjoying the tranquility here. Tourists can go for a speed boat, pedal boat, motor boat or row boat.
Mattupetty is also known as ĂąâŹËcattle villageĂąâŹâą, the name which came from the famous Indo Swiss farm project or Livestock project. The project was launched in the year 1963 as part of the bilateral agreement between India and the Swiss government. You can see hundreds of varieties of high yielding cattle in this farm. The sight of the cattle grazing freely on the hills of the wide farm is a unique experience which any tourist can have ever in his life.
The farm is around three kilometer away from the Mattupetty Dam and is dedicated to cattle development and research centre set up by the Government of Switzerland. At present the project is handled by the Kerala Livestock Development and Milk Marketing Board.
The best time to visit Mattupetty is from the month of August to May and it is very easily accessible from Munnar town.

*Probably one of my best shots in 2016. The colors, DOF and contrast between the sky and flowers are outstanding in my opinion. This picture is also the celebration of the Spring season with these beautiful orange colors of nature.

I find that the cheapest rice is the best. I have tried all sorts of fancy smancy rice and the Piggly Wiggly brand is the best. You must follow the directions on the bag and you will have perfect rice. I used some left over rib fat grease and added it to the water when I boiled this rice. You can use chicken broth, tomato sauce or any sort of broth to cook the rice

I never tire of this landscape. Taken on the way down from the mountain, showing a fairly rural area with a few quiet houses. Not too far from a city, however!

Macro Mondays Theme:Textures
I would have loved to join in the Flickr Photowalk in London but already had a very busy weekend planned and just couldn't fit it in! I did my own this morning around Caversham (Reading) and found this very rotten door with peeling paint.
HMM to everyone and thanks for all your views, comments and favourites.
I did change my choice about 10 minutes after posting to the group... I hope I don't get in trouble with admin!!!

Macro Mondays Theme: Heart â€ïž
Made this heart with ribbon I used round the christmas cake last year. It had wire at the edges to bend into shape. Surrounded it with heart confetti.
Really appreciate all your comments and favourites as always. HMM to one and all! It's half term this week so won't have as much time to comment as normal, but will try my best!! Have a great week everyone.

The Highlands of Iceland cover most of the interior of Iceland. They are situated above 400â500 metres and are mostly an uninhabitable volcanic desert, because the water precipitating as rain or snow infiltrates so quickly into the ground that it is unavailable for plant growth. This results largely in a surface of grey, black or brown earth, lava and volcanic ashes
NGC 2736 is a small part of the large and old Vela Supernova Remnant.

Last year we celebrated birthday of my mom with a dinner in the historical Sargans Castle, located at the foothills of the Swiss Alps. We had the 500 year old castle all to ourselves for the evening. We explored the 500 year old castle before dinner - this is the entrance hall.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
Thank you for visiting - ⥠with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
