Photographer's Note
A change of continent with a series of pictures from the Indian city of Cochin.
Some information from Wikipedia:
Kochi, also known as Cochin, is a major port city on the south-west coast of India by the Laccadive Sea. It is part of the district of Ernakulam in the state of Kerala and is often referred to as Ernakulam. With a corporation limit population of 612,343, and metropolitan population of 2.1 million, Kochi city is also a part of the Greater Cochin region, which is the largest urban agglomeration in Kerala and is classified as a Tier-II city by the Government of India.
Called as the Queen of the Arabian Sea, Kochi was an important spice trading centre on the west coast of India from the 14th century onward, and maintained a trade network with Arab merchants from the pre-Islamic era. Occupied by the Portuguese in 1503, Kochi was the first of the European colonies in colonial India. It remained the main seat of Portuguese India until 1530, when Goa was chosen instead.
The city was later occupied by the Dutch and the British, with the Kingdom of Cochin becoming a princely state. Kochi ranks first in the total number of international and domestic tourist arrivals in Kerala. It has been ranked the sixth best tourist destination in India according to a survey conducted by the Nielsen Company on behalf of the Outlook Traveller magazine.
Kochi was one of the 28 Indian cities found to be among the emerging 440 global cities that will contribute 50% of the world GDP by the year 2025, in a 2011 study done by the McKinsey Global Institute.

Bonjour, cher Stephen,
Très intéressante note d'information. L'image surprend par l'architecture peu rencontrée dans ce pays.
La maison est fort élégante et s'inscrit bien dans cet environnement.
Jolie création.

Hello Stephen,
This looks like a bit of England in Kerala. It's not a typical Indian building, but it's very pretty and looks carefully protected. I am sure the owner has a hard working gardener. A very nice photo with pleasant light and colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Stephen
I like the dappled fg light and shadow play. The colorful pink flowering shrubs add a welcome splash of color. Good sharpness and the mansion might be behind a locked gate but I see no broken glass embedded in the top of the fence as a further disincentive, as I saw in Java. Tfs!

Bonjour Stephen,
Elle est belle cette maison, dans un très beau quartier qui doit faire l'envie de plusieurs. Un beau mur fleuri pour protéger de la vue et des intrus.

Bonjour Stephen,
Les arbres cadrent bien le manoir. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des arbres et du manoir. La bonne luminosité rehausse la beauté des couleurs. Bonne journée.

Hello Stephen,
Such a great photo of this grand mansion partly hidden behind the abundant trees and flowers of the garden. The soft light was so lovely here and added some fine shadows to the foreground and the white wall in particular.
