Weekly Photo Challenge – Earth
Posted on May 6, 2016
Earth.
MB took this shot of the base of a tree in a spice plantation in Goa, India in early 2015. He has no memory of what the tree was called or the spice it produced. Neither does he remember who owns the foot & sandal that also appears in the shot. Sometimes life doesn’t provide all the answers.
Weekly Photo Challenge – (Extra)ordinary
Posted on October 16, 2015
Cherri is asking for unexpected ‘interestingness’ in this week’s PC. MB has selected a shot from trip to Goa, India, in April of this year.
Went for short walk one night and encountered this scene on the street, that all but MB seemed oblivious to. Interestingness with a capital ‘I’ for MB – but not for the locals. The two guys standing next to the cow just sum up how little notice the locals actually take of a cow sitting on their street at night.
Weekly Photo Challenge – Today was a good day

A series of shots from a particularly good day.
MB has chosen some beach shots from April 2015, on a day he walked with family along one of the popular beaches in Goa, India.
He could have chosen many more shots on other days which would just as easily represent some of the things that Goa is famous for – Christian churches, Hindu temples, mad traffic and motorbikes, wandering cows, wild dogs, bars, casinos, tattoo joints, street markets, spice plantations, green forests, waterfalls, rivers, boat trips, numerous wild life species, food, and streets congested with thousands of locals.
But for this week’s challenge he will stick with the beach shots.

Goa – Basilica of Bom Jesus

The word ‘bom’ in Portuguese means ‘good’. Like ‘bon’ in French. But enough of MB’s language lessons! Read More

Gifts are good!

Morning Crossers
Inshallah all well in your neck of the woods. The Christmas holiday is almost upon us and no doubt many Crossers are considering a suitable festive gift for MB. But relax Crossers, MB has received far too many gifts this year and has no more space in his accommodation to accept more. So instead Crossers, MB implores you to make suitable donation to charity of your choice. Really Crossers, MB has enough.
