The summer is full on. The earth feels like a baking cake. The heat wave tries to burn us while the hot air blows us away. But we still love watching a burning sky. Don’t we ?

Burning sky in Goa.

Kovalam beach is one of the most sought after beaches of India, by International and also Indian tourists. So when I happened to visit Trivandrum, … well, what do you expect of me ? I made it a point to go there in evening even if it was for a short period of a few hours.

Yup! I am talking about Algarve. Algarve is the southern most region of Portugal (Faro is the correct political name of this district).
For people who want to visit Algarve you will definitely …

Crowded not with people but with fish drying racks on the ground and white fluffy clouds in the sky.

Picture of the moment: Sunset at Port Dickson beach, Malaysia.
Picture of the moment is a weekly series exhibiting pictures, through which I show you a bit of my journeys and my world.
