framing suggestion:
It may not have the lustrous textures of Rembrandt's 'Woman with a Pink', but my 'Lady in
Pink' is a whole world away from 17th century Holland, although a 17th century viewer
would probably recognise her mode of transport. The calm of the Kerala backwaters is one
of the delights of the State (being a 'dry' state is not another one). This woman being
taxied by a fellow in a dugout canoe was spotted at extreme telephoto range from a
tourboat on these famous backwaters. The juxtaposition of colours couldn't have been
more fortunate - almost as if she were employed by the State Tourist Office as a
peripatetic pink to offset the ubiquitous green for people like me. Other implications of this
shot aren't quite so appealing: 'backward' villages, wooden dugouts, serfdom? Or is it just a
simple water taxi, the man happy to earn his living like this? Being India, of course, it could
be that his caste only allows him to work this way.
Saw my first water snake here, swimming gaily past the boat, head held high. Later that
day my Fuji digital camera packed up. Possibly something to do with the heat, but I don't
think getting caught in a tropical downpour helped much.
