Romancing the rain.
For pluviophiles and connoisseurs of verdancy the monsoon season lavishes on Goa (and surrounding areas) a slice of bliss.

Monsoon is what I most miss of Goa. Mãe de Deus is also the invocation of the Chapel in my village of Loutolim; this photo made me especially nostalgic. Premanand-Bab said it well, I too can literally smell the fragrance, in particular that which wafts from the soil after the first rains. Thank you Rajan-Bab, you brought back cherished memories .
Antonio-bab: Thank you, and I know all Goans can relate to these scenes.
I wish I could smell the fragrance of the place. This is so saturated, so alive. I would like to have a patch there and grow something eatable.
Thank you, Kristinn.
Premanand, Prof. Dr. John-bab, and Dan: Thank you, gentlemen.
Rajan,
Thanks for all your beautiful posts and especially this one which brings back so many memories. I grew up in the beautiful island of Chorao and the church in Pompurba was a familiar sight. i went to school next to the church. The GOA GREEN is like nowhere else with the misty rain and the rice fields, While I bake in the 104 degrees heat hereinn Los Angeles your post made me feel i was back in my beloved Chorao walking to school amid the green, green grass of home. Thanks so mucj!!!
Juliet – So nice to hear your account. Thank you for commenting.
Rajan you are very welcome. Continue supplying us with the much needed memories of our Goa. Wishing you good luck in your unique photography of which I do not know much at all. Juliet
Beautiful and vibrant amigo! I remember the monsoon season in SE Asia quite well! While I hated the constant rain, it sure made for a vibrant jungle! Love the temple snuggled in the green!
Gorgeous!
I can literally smell the fragrance of the place in the video. Thanks for sharing!
