I so love to draw in pen. I took this picture at  Allepey,Kerala while cruising on the houseboat through the beautiful backwaters of Kerala.I saw these two coconut farmers loading up their boat with their harvest . Houseboat ride at Allepey is so wonderfully calm and soothing ,to see the  local people go about their daily life in the lush green landscape.
