A few pictures from my trip to Yercaud, its such a charming little place... you can almost expect to see Jane Austen characters walking about, its that lush and beautiful and sparsely populated. The word Yercaud comes from two tamil words 'Yeri' & 'Kadu' which mean lake and forest and that precisely sums up this hill station. There's a pretty lake and the rest is basically forest with a few coffee/orange estates thrown here and there.
A little stream on the way...
The rocky terrain...
A quaint little bench under the roots of a tree...
The view from my room....
A sleepy little hamlet...
Everywhere you look, you see sights like this....
Pretty flowers swaying on a breeze...
Don't they look delightful...
There were monkeys all over the place, caught this fellow staring into the room...
A little bridge connecting two rocky ridges...
The swimming pool at the resort, check out those bar stools... pretty neat right, sipping and soaking and taking in mother nature in all her pristine beauty.
At the Don Bosco Retreat Center, run by the Salesians priests...
The really beautiful church at the Don Bosco Retreat Center...
Inside the church... (the picture doesn't do enough justice), this was one of the best chapels I've been to...
The Sacred Heart Church, where we attended Sunday Mass...
Inside the Sacred Heart Church...
The twinkling lights of Salem seen at night... the whole town glows, its pretty amazing.

Nice to see a post after a gap.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Joy always,

Thank you for your kind comments about my artwork. Yes, I often put up my lineart, then later on will color the work. Sometimes I sell the original works online.
I use Prismacolor pencils, to add the color and each picture takes me from 4-6 hours to finish.
Thank you for asking about that! Have a wonderful weekend!
Beth, can't wait to see that mermaid and the heart picture painted.
Gibsy, yeah.. I hope it stays that way and doesn't turn populated like Ooty or Kodaikanal.
