In the Jungle
While on vacation in Kerala, India, last year, we spent 2 days in Munnar. We visited a cloud forest (whose name I just can’t recall anymore) with the idea of seeing elephants. Unfortunately, that never worked out, because a few days earlier, an elephant had killed a man in the area, and the local guides said they would be unpredictable and it was too dangerous. Instead we did a mini-adventure, with fishing and a bootleg “zipline” – and I got attacked by leeches.
That actually sounds more dramatic than it really was (as I can look back a year later with some perspective) – but I hate leeches. Thankfully (I guess) these were super tiny ones, not like the ones from Anaconda 2 (ha, that’s my reference point).
Other than leeches, the jungle was absolutely beautiful. It was full of mist and had a mysterious, and slightly creepy, air about it.
Such an enchanting magical forest. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment, Jennifer! I’m glad you liked these. It really was magical! (Except for the leeches.
)
I’m obsessed with magical, foggy forests! My leech point of reference is Stand By Me…you know the movie from the 80′s? sigh…when the “leech scene” comes on, I have to turn the channel. yikes!
Mary, I haven’t seen that movie. (I know, I know.) But based on what you say, I think I’ll pass!
Oh man, I’m obsessed with forests and trees too. Can’t get enough!
wow.. nice pics….:)
Thank you! Appreciate you stopping by.
