Very nice.  At once dramatic and serene.

Neela & I went for a stroll on Marina Beach today. 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:

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!:

Two guys looking quite incongruous:

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:

Horse Ride - the small girl looks a bit queasy:
