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.
