Calicut – Kerala.
I got into Calicut just before mid-day and had some dinner near the bus station. Then I found my hotel and went out to get some money. On the way I found the Sunday markets where they were selling all sorts of stuff, second-hand and new.
The estuary
In the afternoon I went for a walk to the estuary and poked around the river mouth and the beach.
Fishermen and nets
Playing around with the nets.
Going to sea
I used to do this many years ago. Heading out to sea every night, punching a nor’easter home. No fish and a wet arse.
Black Kite
This Black Kite was just sitting on a rock close to some fishermen. I do not know why it did not fly away.
Indian Pond Heron
A reflective shot. Narcissus in feathers.
Under the bridge
Lots of action under the bridge late afternoon. woohoo!
Recycling some of the crap
So much rubbish on the beaches everywhere. Terrible.
Looking south
Down the beach looking south towards Beypore.
Kids getting mussels
Some kids were getting green mussels off the rocks. A couple of kids were diving and getting them and these kids were detaching them from the black gunk.
Late evening net sorting
Late in the evening as the sun was going down, these fishermen were still sorting out their nets.
