At Mandrem Beach in North Goa we saw the most stunning and beautiful sunset ever. The sky was full of scattered pieces of clouds and the sun setting upon the ocean created an amazing gradient of orange, red and blue in the sky. It was a visual that has got photographed not only in my camera, but also in my mind.
If you ever visit Goa , do visit this beach without fail. Mandrem, Morjim in North Goa and Palolem and Benaulim in South Goa are the best. We traveled more than 200 Kms on a bike in 4 days, to reach these beaches from our hotels. We spent 2 days in north and 2 days in south. It was for sure an amazing experience.
My wife Mukta and I are soon coming up with a new blog Travel Sagas, on which we are going to write about our vacations and weekend getaways to some of the beautiful places in various parts of India
Magnifique, une photo tres poetique, j'adore

Beautiful picture. I love the silhouette of the bird in the middle of the frame.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clouds and colors, great capture of bird in flight too!
ReplyDeleteYes, Handheld. The camera is the Rebel. The lens is the 400mm Sigma and it has built in image stabilization. I don't use other not stabilized lenses. Sometimes I can lean a long zoom lens up against something but the hand held works for this lens pretty good. Thanks for the visit and comment on my House Finch.
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous sky!!! so peaceful!
ReplyDelete...and the bird cooperated by flying by just for you! How beautiful this is! A beautiful sunset is a beautiful sunset...but, from the perfect location...1000 times better!

Kcalpesh: Wow, that makes my cold skies look so dismal.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot. Don't know if you waited and waited for the bird, but that was a great catch. I photographed a sunset in North Carolina and a gull took off as if on queue on soared right into the frame.
