lvcrn:
This shikra saw us off...
lvcrn:
..and the sun played hideand seek as we got off the highway
lvcrn:
..and we get on to the road on the anicut embankment
lvcrn:
...and one one side the Kollidam is dammed
lvcrn:
Kollidam or Colleroon is the northern distributary of Cauvery
lvcrn:
Its breathtakingly beautiful
lvcrn:
..but Martian on the downstream
lvcrn:
..you can play volleyball too..
lvcrn:
The sunsets on the Kollidam
lvcrn:
....words not needed I guess...
lvcrn:
A different plant on the other side
lvcrn:
...it really cannot be described...
lvcrn:
Never knew such spot existed..
lvcrn:
Sunset on the Upper Anicut
lvcrn:
This is the upper reach of the Grand Anicut
lvcrn:
Grand Anicut or Kallanai was built a 1000 years ago by Karikala Chola
lvcrn:
Then came in Arthur Cotton
lvcrn:
Him of the Andhra and irrigation fame
lvcrn:
He designed the Upper Anicut system
lvcrn:
Says it all
lvcrn:
..and then we hear the rush...
lvcrn:
The Cauvery in all of her majesty...
lvcrn:
This is the lifeline of the delta...
lvcrn:
Sunrise on the river
lvcrn:
Still waters run furiously
lvcrn:
Tried swimming...got wiser..
lvcrn:
She can be troublesome for swimmers - Cauvery
lvcrn:
..one of the widest stretches of the river..
lvcrn:
The best spot to pray early
lvcrn:
...until the next good rain...
