Photographer's Note
At last I got a chance to live my dreams. Finally I had a wonderful honeymoon, a perfect place where I felt fusion of true love and beauty of nature. I was awestruck by the beauty, peace, serenity of place, music of birds all in one place and that too with a person I always wanted to be by my side. It was like living a dream. Everything coming to life and filling my soul with peace. It is really a wonderful place which I would recommended everyone to visit.
About Place : Munnar (Kerala, India) breathtakingly beautiful - a haven of peace and tranquility - the idyllic tourist destination in God's own country. Set at an altitude of 6000 ft from sea level located in Idukki district, Munnar was the favored summer resort of the erstwhile British rulers in the colonial days. Unending expanse of tea plantations - The misty mountains and valleys, the whispering wilds and the refreshing drizzles are a tourists' delight at any time of the year. The mountain slopes are a nicely laden green carpet of evergreen tea plantations interspaced by murmuring jungle streams, winding roads and Pathways.
The misty nights and the sound of silence of this high altitude mountains and valleys blessed with mother nature's riches flora and fauna make it a true paradise on earth. The satin smooth grass lands which are the abode of the rare species of wild goats known as Nilgiri Tahrs and herds of wild elephants grazing elegantly across the jungle slopes add to the splendour of this mesmerizing landscape.

A beautiful checkerboard of shades of green, with a wondeful play of light. And a good high horizon to docus entirely on the tea fields.
Well doen.

Hi Rajiv
That's a wonderful shot!
The management of light, that enhances the colors, is fantastic. It's perfectly well contrasted and the softness of the hills is more than lovely. The mist in the background and the blue hues of the far away hills, add a lot of mood. Congratulations!
Regards
Marine
PS: I wish you a merry life with your wife!
