Coonoor is about 1770 metres higher, and 30 degrees cooler, than steamy, tropical Chennai by the sea. Here are some things about it:
it has fallen leaves that look like autumn
red tile roofs are everywhere - even on the churches
you can wear a wool shawl in the evening
it has beef stalls
mist rises up from the valleys
there are tea plantations everywhere, even in the town
(okay, you can see this in Chennai too:) a cow with horns still bright after the Pongal festival
you can walk for ten minutes and reach the forest
it has monkeys.

I'd hate to live in a place with monkeys running around. I bet they're worse than blue jays.
You're right - and they're bigger than blue jays, too. They swing from your cable tv cable and spoil the reception, and run off with anything shiny. And they're not at all endearing...
Beautiful.
Wonderful and various set of photos, thank you!
