My Goa Vacation pics *56K warn*

[DDGuy]

I was there for 5 days...for those who don't know where and what Goa is, see this thread in BOTH ->http://forums.webrats.com/showthread.php?t=116766

I know that most pics will benefit from some sharpening (I keep my in-camera sharpening always Low) but I am being lazy..so all these are straight out of camera with only resizing done...

This one should have been deleted but for some strange reason, I like the effect created by having my leg in the frame :)

Some really good photos in there. Even with the rain it looks like a great resort. Will have to look in to paying it a visit at some point.

And 12x zoom is always a winner.

[procol]

I was in South Goa, Varca beach to be precise...though it was my 4th trip in as many years and the first two were in North Goa resorts..and so I have seen it pretty much all

The rain drop one was my desktop too for many days :)

[corgidad]

vacation looks awesome! however, no matter how good view was, a lot of it is in the photos and i have to say you did a damn good job with them.

[metallica67]

Seems to me you had a good time there. Great pictures too, even without girls…

[yellowfish]

Well the hippies are still not there...not so much as in '70s and '80s but they are there...this place was just a bit too upmarket for them

[evo666]

[Treis10]
