Very nice image... Not breath-taking but there's something quiet and relaxing in this photo.

I also like the other images you posted on your blog… Most photographers would give up in the wet season.

Francois,

The tropical monsoon in India/Goa is all about atmosphere as well as the cultural themes that are associated with it.  Photographs don't fully convey the experience.

See this book, for instance -

A nice humid stillness to this. I wonder how it would read with the image canvas flipped horizontally...

Rajan,

I have suspected that you spend so much time in Iceland in order to avoid the monsoon season in India. But these monsoon photos are quite fine.

Eric,

Ha! The monsoon in Goa is magical. But it coincides with summer in Iceland, another spiritual experience. Therefore, my annual pilgrimage begins on the rock in the mid-Atlantic and ends in the place of my birth.

Humid, check. Still, check.

When I came upon the scene, I too wished it was flipped horizontally :-).
