Small boats

As you can assume as we are on the river, there is bound to be boats of all kinds there, and I took photos of them. I loved how the morning light showed beautiful color reflections on the water

Kerala style house boat


Kicking off my sandals I lie back on the cushions, take a sip of a local wine, Not a good choice and watch the palm trees drifting by. It’s the start of my second week in Goa and we’re spending it on a Kerala style rice boat on the Chapora River in northern Goa.
We leave just before sunset and sitting on the top deck, watch the world go by. This has to be the perfect way to relax.. Spending the night on the houseboat was the one thing we were all most looking forward to. Here are some shots of the boat, I can highly recommend this. It was like in a Hercule Poirot movie.
As the sun sets behind the palms the scene is so picturesque, that I continue taking photos so I will capture the wonder of it.

Tree in Chapora river

Chapora River (54)-2

Chapora River is a river in northern Goa, India. It runs westward into the Arabian sea at Chapora and demarcates the border between the North Goa talukas of Pernem and Bardez. I took a cruise there and this one is from there taken at sunset. Several posts following this will be from there.

Tree by the sea

This is an old photo of weather I wish we were having now, instead od the wind and rain. I am rather proud of this capture. I found it whilst looking for something to post. i
It is a birch tree next to the frozen sea. I like the light in this photo.

First snow

I have to believe that winter is here, even thought this snow melted quickly, but it is a sign that one cannot ignore.
