What is Bamboo-Scape? A landscape created by bamboo groves. The tall bamboo trees are biologically defined as a type of grass. Still have trouble accepting that the tall bamboo trees as high as 75 ft can qualify as a grass family.

These photographs in this photo essay were taken by me in Cochin, at the location where I was boarding. From the back verandah of my room, I was warmly greeted by them every morning. Slowly, I was enamored by them and found them to be irresistible. These tall bamboo trees with their leaves laden branches provided serenity and a sense of tranquility.

Everyday they unfolded a new spectacle. Hope you enjoy them.

IMG_0488 –The spectacular view of the river behind the majestic bamboos makes the bamboo-scape truly serene. 

IMG_0487 – Where did the river disappear? 

IMG_0491 – That is the question to be contemplated by sitting on this bench.

IMG_0458 – The wind can bend and tame the tall, majestic bamboo trees. It does not subject itself to its own will, instead just surrenders. 

IMG_0495 – What? Me try to bend the tall bamboo tree. No! No! I tried but could not. The wind is stronger than me. 

IMG_0498 –I can only move the branch. Remember the wind is stronger than the man.

IMG_E3429 – OK! I moved it. You noticed my trick. The bamboo was not planted and did not have roots.
