Small Town Paradise

Long nature walks is the best remedy to get rejuvenated...at the least one could take one's 'La Ponderosa II' for it :)... Since the last couple of months I have enjoyed a few short trips in my home town of Palakkad in Kerala. This was Quite an Unexpected Trip; it was to a mural camp held by Lalita Kala Akademi in Malampuzha, a tourist spot of our lovely town. Unfortunately I reached there at the closing time but was Lucky enough to attend a seminar, even if  for a short while, on Benode Behari Mukherjee - a well known pioneer of Indian Modern art. Though I had planned to pay a visit the next day to get the pictures of the camp, the art and the artists, I couldn't make it...a Big Loss!

As I emerged out, the sun was setting and it was painting the sky and the landscape in beautiful hues and shades... I couldn't resist from taking these pictures of the lovely transformations. Hope you like it too... :) The pictures are taken from my Lenovo K910L.

Isn't this a lovely sunset!
