I was so in awe of the colors and details that had remained in the houses in Pompei. The beauty of it all. The interiors and the wall murals in earthy colors, the details of which are found in them, which had stood the test of time. Quite amazing are they not?
I visited Pompei last summer and I then posted few photos, but as I am on a roll with travel photos I will post few post of how I saw the place, what caught my attention. These are over all photos, the place is huge and it is quite amazing how it has persevered time.
This is going to be my last post about my trip, most like all are bored of them by now. BUT every now and them there might be a picture from here and there.
This is the largest and the best-preserved Portuguese bastion in Goa and was built in 1609-12, to control the entry into the river Mandovi and to protect Old Goa from potential enemy attacks.
Most of my photos are about the locals, the way of life there. I found that there were not so many sights to see there. The difference is so vast that it left an impression. The colors, the strong sun, poverty and skooters and cars and that there was so many people everywhere.
This weeks theme is straight – well these are straight lines in various shades of black, white and grey. Not the most beautiful photo – but somehow I like it. SO this is my entry to Monochrome Madness this week.
After a long time I have posted two digital art posts, trying to get active in that field too.
Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don’t see what goes on underground – as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don’t see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree. — Joyce Meyer
The nature has some beautiful details for us, if we keep out ice open. I really like how the light comes through the icicles.
This place is located close to Miramar beach in Panaji . Lanes leading to this place are narrow and under construction. Our driver took us through the locals way. This place has a nice promenade right into the sea and there are many shops on one side selling local handicrafts, clothes and snacks. the other tourists were mainly locals. We climbed up the stairs to the top and enjoy a great view of the vast Arabian sea in front.
Panjim is India’s smallest capital city and was occupied by the Portuguese for over 450 years.
This old district or latin quarter has a completely different atmosphere from the hustle and bustle of the main city, with its Mediterranean appearance, narrow streets and overhanging balconies of the ancient Portuguese style houses.
This house was next to the St. Augustine Ruins, and it spoke out to me, I found this house so appealing even though it is run down, maybe that is half of the appeal.
This post is linked to The Weekend in Black and White These photos are from the Ruins of St. Augustine on Goa, India. 
If you have time, so have a cloer look at these ad, posters we saw at Goa. Some are very nice – old time like the Gold smith sign. So well – raise few questions.
We spotted several Royal Enfield motorbikes some in better shape than others
This is not the usual photos from trips, as we lived in midst the local and the reality of the local lives was so visible. Poverty could be touched. So mostly my photos from this trip are street photagraphy. Documentation of what we saw …
I was taking photo on the street and this girls dad came and asked if I’d take a photo of her daughter. I was ever so happy to take a photo of this sweet girl. I am so into monochrome photos, that I like that one better. How do you see it?
