Sunset at the Pier

Backwaters of Ennore

Thalankuppam is a small fishing hamlet, at the extreme north of Madras city. A river - called variously the Kourtaliayaar, Mogathwaram, Thalankuppam - meets the sea here, at Thalankuppam. At dusk you see hordes of boats taking off into the backwaters. A really nice feeling to be standing on the bridge, going into the sea, and looking back onto the backwaters.
