Munnar, Kerala running in Sub-Zero - TrvaellerG

[TravellerG]

This is an abstract of a trip to Munnar (6th, Jan 2019), Kerala, India.

Munnar, the most popular Tourist destination & Hill Station of Kerala, {which saw two major disasters – the Kerala floods and Cyclone Gaja in 2018}, is presently enjoying an influx of tourists because of the cold weather. The hills and valleys gift, amazing views, with hypnotising effects!

The normal temperature in Munnar is from 16 to 24 Degree Celsius; the previous weekend, it dropped to -4 Degrees Celsius (in some areas). We too thought of exploring this occasion. Although we could not see any frost-covered area, we had comfortable weather even at mid-noon. Here are few random shots from the trip:

1. A scenic shot from Mettupatti Dam

2. Dam, Another shot

3. A Waterfall, on the way to Munnar

4.The Water pipes carrying water to Pallivasal Hydro-Electric-Station.

5. A resort overlooking a Valley

6. Another Valley - Hill View

7. A contemporary House, on the way to Munnar

8. The view cannot be felt through any photograph - you need to be there to enjoy it…

9. A part of The Tea Processing System, in the Tea Museum.

10. Wooden Curios in the vending session of the Tea Museum.

11. The real fire - A local sight…

12. The “Tea Wood Art”, curios for sale.

We had planned to cover few waterfalls, Tea Museum, Dam, Valleys & some resorts; we were successful! These locations will be published as separate posts; Hope, you will enjoy this Intro-Post, dear @BorrisS and all friends, @aaryesdee @helga19 @NandKK @Ayuratna @SaikatPramanik2001 @Peerobair @rajanbantas53 @IshantHP_ig @BishowvijayaP

All I can say is "Tusi Great Ho’

Brilliant capture of pictures that illustrate. The write up is very informative and I’m sure it would be handy for all those tourists visiting Munnar’ / God’s own Country.

Hi @TravellerG ,

Very nice photos and the description is great! Thank you!

I am curious about the photo with the waterfall if did you use an ND filter for it? Because the water is very soft.

Hello @TravellerG ,

Here are few other things that I learned about Kerala thanks to you, thank you for sharing. For me Kerala was always associated with elephants, Hindu temples and Kathakali, now the list has become bigger and more diverse.

I really enjoyed the photos and the details, and as a person who studies Art for years I was impressed by the Tea Wood Art in the last photo.

Hi dear friend, thank you very much @IshantHP_ig

[TravellerG]

Thank you dear friend @PoliMC , for your kind response. I have not used a physical ND Filter - instead, I used Sony RX 10 Camera and I have used Digital Filter (2 Stops, down), in the folloing shot (a Stand shot).

This waterfall is on the way to Munnar (almost midnoon time) - [f4, S 1/10, ISO.100]. I think, I have controlled sun shine to a good extend with life to water-flow - what do you think?

[TravellerG]

Hi dear friend @BorrisS ,

I am really impressed by your interest and knowledge - I remember many of your comments, even earlier, regarding Kathakali and temples - Thank you dear; because of your comments, I too presumed that your are an Art based person - Congrats!

The following is also by Tribal Artisans (not professionals) and was captured in a rural shop; hope you will like it.

Thanks dear

Hi @TravellerG ,

Thanks for your explanation and nice photo!

That’s great that the Digital Filter can make the waterfall that way. I didn’t know about it. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

I bought soon an ND filter and when the weather will be better I will try with it and will share with you also my experience.
