The Best Goa Beach is Palolem but for a Photographer, no fun as the light is too harsh ! Circa 2008
So this is a indoor capture of a still life of something uniquely Indian - the autorickshaw,
(on India and its misunderstood depiction, the current Flickr blog has photos on mounds of "spices" as their theme. The 2nd photo appearing there is not even of spices but actually colored powder used for rangoli. If you think Flickr has daft contributors (their content team) with little knowledge and sucks real big time.........YOu are right ! .. You can never go wrong with flickr for their unique stupidity)
EDIT - 1953HRS IST - The Flickr blog has now been updated with a new entry on Dogs. 2 photo blog entries on a day ---- now that is unreal. If this in anyway contributed to lesser viewing of photos of the photogs whose entries were on that "spice" blog, please do not blame me for it !
A model of the 3 wheeled Bajaj autorickshaw makes a surprise appearance at a restaurant table in Pallolem in Goa where a child debates with some angst the chances of him having a Ozzie beer to go with the desi tuk tuk.
Pallolem is a lovely beach in Goa and far away from the vast hordes of "male" desi tourists who make a beeline for Goa in ugly Sumos and Tempos to have their fair share of the sun and water and the available ogleful square inches of female flesh.
So it is not too overcrowded but then the tourists from foreign lands are overflowing here.
In the winter of 2008 while I was there in Pallolem, the air and light were no good for photography. The food OK. Night parties too noisy.
