Monsoon Blues (Greens). (https://blog.parrikar.com/2021/06/23/monsoon-blues-greens/)

I love both shots and now, those lush greens (1st photo) are easily explained with the second one.
-
That second shot is great.
-
I like the impact and composition of the first one quite a bit, but I had to view it full size to really appreciate the lushness of the field.
-
That's it: the lushness of green and the almost dark moodiness of the misty rain. The first reminds me of the song "40 shades of green." Ironically, it is a lovely sensitive ballad written by the bad-boy of country music, Johnny Cash. I am sure the people of Goa have their own song about the lovely shades of green in their fields.

Francois, Paulo, James, John - thank you.
John - yes, there are folk songs celebrating the monsoon. The impact of the Southwest monsoon on the local culture and life is deep. There's a beautiful account (https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Monsoon-Alexander-Frater-audiobook/dp/B01B8AUT7O/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1) of the Indian monsoon through the eyes of a Westerner.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the images in your blog.
And I had no problem at all telling that they were from Goa and not Iceland. ;)
Very fine set.
