#20: On 30th of September,2009, Thekkadi lake met with a historical disaster, in which a tourist boat capsized in the lake, taking the lives of 45 people. The disaster happened when the boat was taking a 180 degree turn, for its return; in the meanwhile a herd of elephants appeared on one side of the shore and to see that people moved on to one side...when both occurred at the same time, the buoyancy limit was exceeded.....

There after for several months boat service was withheld; now it has started but with much restrictions like every body should wear life jackets... nobody should stand or walk without permission......an iron rail separates the boat midway, so that people on one side cannot move on to the other side.....

Here is a link : 2009 Thekkady boat disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This was the boat that sunk with 45 lives.... like a coffin of sad memories...

On the distant shores i saw these tribal ladies making a life by catching fishes..... they know there is a world outside with much luxuries, comforts and all...but they deny them all and live withdrawn into the lap of Mother Nature...... They enjoy one thing which none of us do....the simplicity of living....

That's a sad story about #20. At first, I wondered how 45 people could fit aboard such a small vessel, but it is actually rather large. Nice photo. The angle and the way the boat disappears into the trees gives the photo a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Thank you Jaemie,
It looks small; but it is not; it is a double decked one

Sometimes i wonder whether photography takes me closer to Nature or distance me from It. Once i started enjoying photography i think i love my images on Nature than Nature itself...once i get a good image i can't revel in the beauty of Nature and feel the urgency to go for the next....... every image is an impression of my ego i place on Nature; Mother nature, forgive me.....

In summer time flocks of elephants come to the shores of the river, because interior lakes would have dried up, by then. But in monsoon time their visits are less frequent since water is splendid within... this day we were not lucky to meet even one

very nice pics in general
just a little thing, when you have a main topic, boat, bird,... you could use the rule of thirds or strenght points for drawing the attention on it even more
