Monsoon drama.
These are scenes from an eventful monsoon morning in Goa in August 2012. The first two images were taken during the ferry crossing on River Mandovi, moments before the clouds unloaded their cargo. The rest happened on the island of Divar across the river. In the second photo, all the major monuments of Old Goa can be seen.

Lovely, gentle, understated images which repay contemplation.
And who could argue with the humor of the egrets (?) in the penultimate picture?
