I've always liked holidays by the sea.
It is not so much the 'sun, sand and surf' that I indulge in: I don't actually enter the water as much as that, and being a brown-skinned Indian, getting a sun-tan isn't a priority.
I've always liked the sea for the view. Somehow, I get the feeling of standing at 'the end of the world' when I'm at any sea-shore (beach or not).
Here's a few of my pictures that bring back pleasant memories. These aren't so much photos of the sea: rather they evoke a sense of proximity to the sea when I look at them.
This one is actually a scan from a print. It was taken from our ground-floor room at the Taj Exotica, Goa in June 2006. Looking west over the Arabian Sea.
This one was taken from our room at the Ashok, Pondicherry in June 2010. Looking east over the Bay of Bengal.
This last one was from the entry to the beach at the Leela, Goa in May 2011. Looking west over the Arabian Sea again.
