The river Kapila near Mysore has many attractions, one of which is a coracle ride in its waters. The coracles are just shallow bamboo baskets in which the passengers sit. The boatman then rows them in a circular fashion. It is a very good way to observe birds, as the coracle makes no sound.
If you want, the boatman will give you a spin in the vessel, which is a bit scary. I took these shot from the coracle.Unfortunately, the birds seemed to dislike being photographed by me:(My thanks to 2sweensaxy for her wonderful meme Watery Wednesday.
Looks so peaceful!

It can be fun but i am a bit scared riding your coracle, what if it capsize! Are there no crocodiles in the lake. Here we do that in small boats or rafts.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be in a coracle but without the spinning of course! Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteLovely, watery shots! Hope your week is going well!

I'm dizzy enough on a regular basis - no coracle spins for me though I'd love a regular ride in one. What a pretty place.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteAnticipating for Water is my entry, hope you can visit, thanks!
very interesting. i would love to ride the coracle.
ReplyDeleteriding a coracle sounds exciting.:p
ReplyDeletethe branches leaning over the water reminded me of childhood--jumping from the branches into a small creek in my grandfather's farm was our favorite game during monsoon.:p
never heard of that kind of baskets, sounds interesting.
