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 boats at Chapora river
These boats are so beautifully crafted so I am sharing few more photos of them as seen from abroad one of them
Sunset
The birds looked lovely by flying in front of the sun…
Sunset at river Chapora
It was a beautiful calm evening, the sun was slowly setting to horizon. The colors were just amazing , only few more minutes before the final setting

The weekend in Black and White
This weeks entry for The weekend in Black and White
Palm trees
Palm trees prior sunset (top) and after sunset. The colors and tones are so different
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.
Fishing boat
I love the sea, river, lakes. I also love boats- you will see few post of them too as I unsravel my photos from my trip to India. Here is one fishing boat getting ready to sail away, as in previous post the sunset gives these photos a nice soft look
Boat on dry land
This fishing boat on dry land looked photographable to me as the setting sun gave it a nice glow.
Tree in Chapora river
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.
Smiling

anxious
I have few more black and white portraits that I want to share at this point.
Here is a young boy looking rather anxious.
Tired girl
This little girl got tired at shopping and fell a sleep on her mothers shoulder. So adorable. I did two version of this. I prefer the first, softer one…sleep – soft?

Woman
I love taking photos of people. I try to capture a moment in the photo, A true feeling, not a plastic smile. I say this woman sitting and taking in the life around her – and took the shot. Black and white portraits are something I really enjoy. I have here the original photo in color and this final version. Do you agree with me that the BW has more magic in it?
I have here also the original photo, color crop, and first version in BW…what speaks to you the most, please let me know.
