A Fisherman of Chennai, India

While in India near Mamallapuram, I walked along the beach to a fishing comunity. This community was hard hit by the 2004 tsunami but had recovered largely thanks to help from some German organisations who had provided new boats. The locals were quite friendly especially as they could speak some English and were only too happy to talk to me. This is one guy who caught my eye and was only too happy to have his photograph taken.

Incredible India

This is Krishna's Butterball in Mamaalpuram near Chennai India. It is a huge rock which seems precariously balanced but I guess stronger men than I have failed to push it over. Still it is quite an amazing site.

The Udon Thani Tuk Tuk


P1080254, originally uploaded by HellonEarth2006.

Since living in Asia, I have discovered that tuk tuks come in all shapes and sizes other than the ubiquitous Bangkok tuk tuk. This one was seen outside the station in Udon Thani and seems to be pretty tyoical for the area. I am currently in India where they are different again and are predominently yellow in colour. But then I am in Chennai so they maybe a different colour elsewhere in India.
