The ninth Chennai Photowalk

We are back to our traditional second Sunday of the month schedule. The ninth Chennai Photowalk will be held on 13th July, at 7 AM.
The route – from the foot of St. Thomas mount to the top. Where rests the Church of our Lady of Expectations, a Nestorian chapel built around the year 1523. More history, legends and myths at the walk.

See you all there?

    Hi,

    Sounds interesting. Count me in. Btw, is there a rendezvous point?

    Thanks!

  23. Vincent D' Souza Says:

    Chandra, you should also find a nice host who will host you all at the end of the walks!

    The priest’s house in atop the mount. There’s also a convent on the other side and a few on different levels on the mount.

    Your next walk should be of the Catonment area of St. Thomas Mount.

    And I hope you have planned one for Madras Day 2008!
    There is a walk of Mount Road ( Simpsons to Connemara junction) planned for Aug.24 morn.
    Photowalkers welcome!

    Me and Vinoth prabhu are in B-)
