Goa Summer, Salt Pans
In Goa, during the months of summer, nothing moves, not even the breeze, it is hot and sultry and almost impossible to think. The famous beaches are not happening as the water is so murky and full of churning that the currents are vicious.
The only activity that seems to occur during this hottest part of the year in Goa is the making of Salt and living life and dreaming of the monsoon to break and bring the rains.
I make occasional forays to the salt pans in Goa to shoot this activity that finishes with the onset of the rains. I have giga bytes of images which hopefully will see the light of the day soon. This was photographed on 1st June 2010 by which time, the monsoon normally breaks. This year, however, it was delayed.
