Make a Photograph when life hands you a hibiscus!!

Monsoon is back... went out to do the touristy thing. . Visited Donapaul to catch glimpse of the foaming fuming ocean.

Crimson Tide

Colourful Chariot at a Goan Temple

Festivities at various Goan Temples over the last month brought out the colour and the splendour of the temples and chariots which are pulled with the Deity seated on them.

Monsoon version 2.013 is in and so is the green.

King of good times

They say that we work hard all our life to be able to rest someday and go fishing. Wonder if this guy enjoying his noon fishing has made all the money in this world and sitting here.

Traditional folk dances of Goa.

Folk dance at the shigmo festival in Goa

This year i could spend very little time at the shigmo parade. Here are a few shots of the same. For detailed coverage go back in time on this blog and you will find loads of shigmo captures.

Captured on my Nokia 808...more of a camera and less of a phone.

Crimson tide.

The sight of sunset reminds me of crimson. Nature's way of creating colors....no lenses and filters.

Riding the ferry in Goa

Everytime I use the ferry to cross the river it throws at my creativity a different perspective and a different idea to capture life around me.

Sunday captures

Many a times your garden is the best source for photo captures.

Procession in a palaquin.

This is the procession of shri Ramnath...the Lord Shiva.

Lamp tower at a temple in GOA

GOA is also a land of temples and churches. My chance visit to one of the famous temple in GOA got me this capture.

Traditional paddy farming

Modern farming has not yet taken over India. With the monsoon in full swing you get to see the women draped in Colourfull polythene sheets planting the past saplings.

Panoramic shoot

It's a cocktail of grey and white and blue. Everything has it's own flavor during monsoon. And the skies keep dancing with the clouds in it...

Bare Beach

Monsoons take away all the sizzle that people look forward to when they visit GOA. the beaches become bare....the beast in the ocean takes over and pounds the land...hoping to make way in land. It's beautiful..

That's my ride on the ferry. Getting a Sunday it was half full. :)

Took the ferry again..

Just shot this random while on ferry.

Rain dropped hibiscus.

Ready for Euro cup.

GOA gets green like crazy with in a few days of rains. It's as good as euro turf...let's play football...   ;-)

Margao City

Aerial perspective of the place where i live...

Magic being slowly unleashed.

Rains have set in and so is lazy mood. Shades of grey and white take over the browns.
