Kuttanad Backwater, Alappuzha (Dist), Kerala (India)

 This picture is taken in an extreme long shot with Sony Cybershot 16x zoom digital camera in day time mode. Kuttanad is a unique ecosystem located between Alappuzha and Kottayam districts in Kerala. This ecosystem spreads from Kochi in the north to Kollam at the south. Most of the agricultural activies in the region is done on land reclaimed from the banks of the vembanad lake. Being waterlogged it is ideal for paddy cultivation- the mainstay of its economy. This is done in fields through the watering process (pumping out water of the low depth portion of the lakes).
