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.
Roots of my mind
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
Winters art
The nature has some beautiful details for us, if we keep out ice open. I really like how the light comes through the icicles.

Dona Paula Beach
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.

Portuguese quarter in Pamjim
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.
The old world charm of the area is retained due to the fact that most houses in the area, which are built in the classic Portuguese style are still painted in the traditional colours of pale yellow, green or blue, and have red-tiled roofs with overhanging balconies.
Chapel of St Sebastian
Old house
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.
The Weekend in Black and White
This post is linked to The Weekend in Black and White These photos are from the Ruins of St. Augustine on Goa, India.

Ad’s seen on the streets of Goa
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.
Bicycles
Royal Enfield
We spotted several Royal Enfield motorbikes some in better shape than others
Beach life
Street Photography
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 …
Sweet little girl
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?

Local food market
These are taken in Goa at a local food market,everything is fresh, but something can be said abour hygiene. I for one prefer the ones we have back home. I do have to say this place is so much more interesting than our local super market if taking photos.

Foggy Friday
I was driving in the countryside and once again stopped at this lake in Vols as I’ve done many times before, it looked different as the fog was there to do its magic. This Foggy Friday looks good in pictures.
