Hallo Dallas,
surprise while opening your blog! First because of becoming your blog, second because of the places you have been to and the amazing fotos. You might know: in1971, when you and Gert were touring towards India, I have been working in Udupi, Basel Mission Hospital. I shortened my stay there because I couldn't stand this mission atmosphere and had more time to go by boat along the backwaters of Cochin (almost no tourists that time!) and to visit a wildlife sanctuary in Kerala ( I don't remember the name...) on an elephants back for some hours. Quite exciting! And we saw a tiger drinking while the antelopes were on the opposite side of the lake. Out of your fotos the ones of the Katakali dancers get most of my interest and the banyan tree my love. I'll be looking for more!
Last week I came back after touring with Hurtigruten around the Nordkap seeing polar light, reindeers and otters and penguins, wonderful!
Hope you are fine! Herta
P.S. Ikonographie of Shiva Nataraja : normaly with four arms. ?
Love your pictures and insights. I had no idea there were so many different religions in India. The farming tea photos were just beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you.
