Back circa 1872 there was a military officer LT. Croaker who 'mapped' Kodaikanal. LT. Croaker also built a 1 Km walk along the side of the mountain overlooking Kodaikanal. Today this walk is called Croaker's Walk.
As you will see below .. the views from Croaker's Walk are excellent .. Mountain Mist and all which seems to make it an extremely difficult photo-shoot for me. I shoot multiple photos of the same scene at different exposures (bracketing) but beyond that I can only do what I can!
I decided .. "Why fight the fog?" .. it is beautiful in its-own-right so I will photograph it separately!
WHAT!
OH COME ON NOW !
We are in India .. it is a beautiful day in the 'peak season' ..
Did any of you ACTUALLY THINK THAT I WAS HERE .. ALL-ALONE BY-MY-LONESOME ! Do you see a 'few-of-them' on the walkway along the left of the below photo?
Oh! You want closer-up evidence.
I was sitting .. on a bench .. alone .. just 'chilling' when!
"Sir! May we get a photograph with you Sir!"
The above 'crew' had no-sooner-left than ..
"Sir! May we get a photograph of you with our two children Sir!"
MY TURN! "May I get YOUR photo?"
Goodness! They were SO pleased by this reaction on my part. Will you all study the little girl in the above two photos! PRICELESS!
A queue .. an actual queue of people was forming behind them so I got up and continued walking!
"What's that?" .. "Cap .. will you tell us just one-more-time .. what exactly is it that you love so much about India?"
One short week from this instant .. God Be Willing .. I will be in Hong Kong!
Oh God of Abraham My Creator .. I feel so truly .. and I feel so totally .. blessed to be experiencing all of this and to have you all to share my joy with.
MUCH LOVE .. Cap
