buildings, students, teachers, classrooms.

 

the Ashram

 

the bridge built after the tsunami struck in 2004

 

then visiting the beaches of Kerala:

sometimes it rains

 

or you have classical sunsets

 

and painted skies

with the odd solar eclipse thrown in...

 

also tourism and garbage, out of sight out of mind oftentimes depends a bit on the perspective

 

but there is holiness in the air too:

offerings

 

or meditation

 

the spirit of fire

 

yoga !

and Indian angels

 

then on to Sri Lanka to meet up with an old friend, Malte, who is travelling for 5 months with wife Annette and their two children Amelie and Smilla:

they share their experiences of travelling with children on their website:

with tropical designs on the way
