Photographer's Note
Here is a simple view of the paddy fields around our house, at sunset.. We are having strong rain since 2 or three weeks now, and it is almost impossible to take pictures!
Voila une simple vue des rizières autour de chez moi, au coucher du soleil... Voila trois semaines qu'il pleut des hallebardes, et c'est pratiquement impossible de sortir prendre des photos...

Hi Laurent,
This is a beautiful place to live. I imagine the sunsets here are breathtaking. Your image is very well composed. The palms trees add to the tropical atmosphere of this place. Nice colours and details. Cheers.

Good Morning Laurent,
this is a beautiful and very relaxing view at sunset. The pink gradient in the sky added a lot of atmosphere with the sun behind the palm trees as a special bonus to the whole lot. The image is very clear, with beautiful natural colours and it's very pleasant to look at.
Thanks for sharing it and regards,
Igor

Salut Laurent,
Tu nous rends jaloux avec ce genre d'image. Les couleurs et la nature font rêver au paradis perdu même si la vie est loin d'être rose comme le ciel pour eux.

Hola Laurent.
You do live in a beautiful place. Very good sunset shot with an impressive tropical scene, the presence of the sun between the coconut trees creates a nice silhouette. Very good colors, POV and frame.
Well done.

Bonjour Laurent,
Un beau coucher de soleil dans une ambiance très exotique pour nous. Même si la pluie est intense, tu arrives à capter de belles images. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre l'avant-plan très rectiligne et le reste de l'iamge beaucoup plus en courbes.
Amitiés,

Hi Laurent. This is a very fine outlook. I like to see some tall elegant birds in the fields too. It is similar to some of the countryside around Nantou in central Taiwan, apart from encroachment of new dwellings. A wonderful photo of India. TFS. Murray.

Graceful picture of the sun setting beyond the coconuts island in the paddy fields. Red reduced saturation makes us calm a lot.

Bonjour Laurent,
Un image exotique au possible, c'est un régal à contempler. Les palmiers et le soleil sont évidemment le point central de cette image très esthétique. Des couleurs, et une réalisation technique sans défaut.
Bonne soirée

Hi Laurent
Like the way you framed the orange ball through the coconut palms. Good use of the paddy fields in the FG. The layers of the hills in the BG works well against the pastel sky. Lovely!

Salut Laurent,
looks like an island in the ocean of rice fields. Nice mood with the sun through the trunks and such a colour in the sky. The strong green creates a good contrast for this.

Encore une fois, tu as vraiment de la chance de vivre dans un tel environnement... J'espère qu'avec la mousson vous avez de temps en temps des couchers de soleil "dramatiques"... J'ai de nouveau la nostalgie de l'Inde !
Peut être que j'y retournerai quelques semaines en janvier (mais pas certain),
Bon courage alors,
Amicalement,
Cath.

Salut Laurent,
J'ai découvert cette ci l'autre jour, quand un ami d'origine goaise m'a apporter pour déjeuner dans une restaurant goais superbe... L'ambiance, la lumière, le paysage, les rizières, les cocotiers, ce ciel incroyable rose, magenta, bleue... C'est vraiment beau, très, très beau.
Amicalement, José.

Award : I will now rate you among the best articulated person in body language that I have met on TE. It is fun and a great joy to watch you express yourself.
This view of the rice field tells me how comfortable way of living you have in Goa and really a story that makes sense to me now when you said you will prefer country living. A fine TE post of the green color in sunset tone.
I hope to meet you again on a motorbike someplace soon!
tfs, bill

Bonjour Laurent!
J'ai fait le tour de ta galerie de Goa, car nous planifions un voyage en Février 2010 avec notre groupe de yoga! Mais ce sera à "Cola Beach tents" dans le sud! Et je vois que tu habites dans le nord à Siolim! Est-ce que ce sont des régions très différentes?
Si j'ai bien calculé, Goa fait à peu près la taille de la moitié du Finistère (où j'habite).
En tous cas, la région de Siolim semble être très belle.
Ce coucher du soleil entre les hauts palmiers au bord des rizières est magnifique!
Est-ce que tes autres photos de Goa se situent aussi plutôt dans le nord?
Merci du partage!
Amicalement.
Marie Louise.

Beautiful scene of sunset, the sun being beautifully captured through the coconut groves right in the centre of the frame. The silhoutte of the coconut trees are also brilliant.
When I had visited Siolim on Sao Joao 2012, the skies were unfortunately grey with cloud cover. :(
