These are the famous Chinese fishing nets in Kumbalanghi. They are everywhere. These nets are like the symbol of Kerala-they are just so different from anything I've seen. The sunset pictures were taken behind the home where we stayed. The nets have electricity running to each one-this is what helps them catch fish and prawns. The net is lowered into the water at night, the light is turned on and attracts the prawns. Then the nets are drawn up and emptied. They are manuevered by a system of heavy stones tied onto ropes. Sorry these aren't in any order.
