They're tea bushes! The lady in the photo had just finished her day picking the fresh tea leaves from the plantation, ready to be made into Orange Pekoe tea :)
It's one of my favourite places in the world - it's a huge country, but wherever you go the scenery is amazing and the people are wonderfu :) Thanks for dropping by!
I love her beautiful grab against the tea bushes. She looks so fresh from what must be a long hard job. but I bet it smells good. thanks for stopping & linking up :) ~Faythe @ GMT~

Beautiful, I especially like her dress and the little trees in the background
ReplyDelete"Connemara" seems so incongruous in this setting, next to "Kottayam" and "Pullumedu." Quite an Irish-Indian connection.....
ReplyDeletenice shot!
