The Chinese fishing nets in Kochi are more than a popular tourist attraction, they have become the identity of the city. Their size, structure and working have always generated interest among the tourist flocking to the city and a picture of these fishing nets at sunset will make an entry into every travel photographer's album.

A scene from Munambam beach near Kochi on a cloudy evening.

A bed of water hyacinth spread all over the surface of a lake, in full bloom, gives the periphery, a purple carpet like look.

This was shot on a cloudy day afternoon at Mulavukad near Kochi.

A beautiful time of a day in Kochi, when traditional fishing boats rest on the tranquil beach of Puthuvype creating a silhouette. Beyond the sleeping boats, the sky puts on a show of color and clouds making the view nothing less than stunning.

This beach has 46 meter tall light house which was built in 1979, the only one in Kochi. The light house beach has become a popular spot among tourists now.

The glittering lights of the city side and the moonlight seem to mix well revealing the irresistible charm of Kochi (Cochin), popular as one of the world’s best natural harbor. The moonlit sky was magical, giving rise to a mysterious aura that made it a night to remember.

This captivating sight was shot with a long exposure while on a leisure walk around the lakeside yesterday night. As someone said elsewhere, if it’s a moonlit night, it is poetic.

A beautiful scene of the serene backwater stretch. This picturesque view is from the banks of Vembanad lake in Aroor town which is about 20 kms far from Kochi.

This is an early morning shot of my bedroom window. The light streaming through the windows is a mix of direct sunlight with the green reflected from the surroundings creating a soul soothing beautiful glow.
