I’m breaking out some blasts from the pasts. This was taken during a 2010 trip to the Peruvian Andes. I probably never posted this before (on my previous photoblog) because I had some crud in my camera as you can see above the most prominent cloud. I don’t know whether my standards are lowering or my aesthetic sensibilities are ripening, but I kind of like this one.

The answer to how one gets around in the water world of coastal Kerala? Either you hoof it down the trails that run atop paddy dikes, or you go by boat. (A dearth of bridges and hypothenusal shortcuts can make for long hauls by way of the former.) If you don’t have your own boat, the one above is the backwater version of the local bus.
