Tamilnadu through the eyes of a Belgian from Lokeren

Looks like email forwards do serve some purpose, after all.
Received one yesterday with the following link

It has the most awesome photographs that I have ever seen. The theme is mostly Tamilnadu
with special emphasis on Madurai. Did some investigating and found that it is the work of a Belgian (Lokeren town) who since 1987 spends the first three months of the year in Tamilnadu.

Oochappan is the name of an old person he met in Tamilnadu and which he uses as an alias/nick. Checked with my Belgian colleague who also is from Lokeren and it seems this person is a good friend of my colleague's cousin. It sure is a small world.

Each and every photograph is a gem. Well worth the time spent viewing them.
