For a change I took a camera along. What I did not realize was that my son had used the camera somewhere and changed the settings to JPG from RAW - so these are shots straight out of the camera, only downsized for the posting on the net. They were renovating a statue of Mahatma Gandhi, this shot seemed appropriate, given his life: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_020.JPG.html There are, as is to be expected, a lot of eateries on the beach, bearing exotic, unconnected names - Halal is the Arabic/Urdu word for Kosher - Sea Angel Authentic Halal Chinese Food!: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_007.JPG.html Spartan (!) Halal Food: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_023.JPG.html Of course Chilis are everywhere: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_068.JPG.html You had nice little vignettes of human behaviour - Joy: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_031.JPG.html Two guys looking quite incongruous: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_050.JPG.html The long beachfront - but even here the mobile phone is in very much evidence. It was a blustery day, and fine sand blowing around made everything look hazy: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_061.JPG.html Horse Ride - the small girl looks a bit queasy: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/album254/Marina_20121120_080.JPG.html Please see LARGE.
