Treading On Dangerous Waters

Posted by Nishana Minhaz (Calicut / Kochi, India) on 14 January 2009 in Plant & Nature.

Looks inviting, eh? I thought so too, until I stepped into it. The water is just above ankle deep, but the rocks.. They are sooo slippery! And the current is pretty strong too.. So much so that its impossible crossing just by yourself. Many slipped and fell.. But then, whats a trip without some excitement?? :)

You wish you had a tripod and take a long exposure shot of this.

No one thought of tarzan swinging to the other end ! .. tch tch tch.. sometimes ppl have to think out of the frame ! :P
Great shot.. I would have loved to take a pic from the other side, shooting into the sun with the bamboo leaves glowing and the sun filtering through them ..( on the top of the frame !)
