Coorg Photo Shoot!

I had been thinking of writing a post with only pictures in it for some time now. The picturesque Coorg gave me just the opportunity I was looking for.

Hail storm welcomed usFour MusketeersCrossed the free flowing Cauvery River
To watch wild Elephants in its natural Habitat
Couldn't help but wonder at Nature's amazing colors
and its picture perfect setting.
We set out towards the source of river Cauvery. Through the country side, turns and bends
Stopped over a lil to stare at a lovely man made wonder
Posed for a few pictures
and finally reached Talacauvery (Structure in the background)
Rounded off the trip with a visit to Abbe fallsand a stopover at one of the Coffee Plantations

I had seen Coorg three times earlier had never captured it a camera. Now that I have successfully done it I wanted to showcase it. That is exactly what I am doing now :)
Hope you enjoyed the short trip!

Ah, lovely... Why no pics of Golden Temple? Didn't go there???

Coorg is like my 2nd home in Karnataka. Been 7-8 times.

That four musketeer one.. it's Nisargadhama na?

Bhargavi,Thanks for the lovely compliment. I love photography but have never thought about it as an alternate career. Some pictures have been clicked by my friends too.

Varun May 6, 2009 10:33 PM  

Vivek,That was the whole idea of the post ;)

Varun May 6, 2009 10:34 PM  

Smita,Thank you :) Man made wonder was clicked at a flower show.

Varun May 6, 2009 10:37 PM  

Swetha,It was definitely one hell of a trip. Another friend of mine has posed the same question. I'll update my blog with those details or will email you across the details asap.

Varun May 6, 2009 10:40 PM  

Vee,I have been there quite a lot of times myself too. We had only a day and a half to roam around. Skipped Golden temple. That is not Nisarga Dhama. It is Dubbare - Elephant Reserve. Lovely place to spend a day.

I read your blog and found it very informative. The event blogs are striking enough to have a feel of the event, so, I would like to have a little chit-chat on your blogging interests. And even we are coming up with an event on startups on June 6th in Bangalore. So, can I have your contact details? Looking forward to hear from you.
