Last year during Christmas, we had the best holiday ever. We went for sun, sand and the sea. Go Goa! Now, the best part about that time of the year was of course the celebrations. The hullaballoo, the shopping, the very famous Sunburn festival (We didn't go for that though). Apart from all that, it was the colors that mattered to me, the art and festivities around that mattered to me. I was in for a surprise at nearly every place we went and I was glad we chose the Christmas time to go there. It started off at North Goa and the holiday ended at Panjim. From walking miles to find a ride, to experiencing nature at the spice gardens there. From visiting the crowded yet peaceful church to accidentally finding treasures on the way. Sharing that treasure with all of you.
1) The Trash festival @Panjim
6) Sculptures
Near the Bom Jesus Church
1) The Trash festival @Panjim
2) Marbella Beach @La Plage Goa
Countless hours spent in our childhood playing this fantastic game "Carrom", who could have thought it can converted into an abstract form of art.
Don't forget to go there and have their famous "Chocolate Thali"
3) Arpora - Panjim Road
Somewhere in between the road to Panjim from Arpora I spotted this beauty.
I had to fight with my parents to stop the car in the middle of the road to capture this. People go Bird-watching, I go Street Art watching.
4) Baga - Arpora
On the way from Baga beach to Arpora side you'll see a lot of statues on sale. They are beautiful and on display as if they belong there.
Buddha Chained
More on the same road .....
Definitely done by Russian Tourists.
5) A form of Street Art explored very less - Sand Sculptures - They are outside, its just that they are not on the street. That's okay, art is art, as long as it is outside its ou there to be explored.
This one is on Calangute Beach
It was under construction when I had gone. If you go see it now its complete.
Near the Bom Jesus Church

7) An Open-for-All Art exhibition right in the middle of a flea market (Arpora Night Market)
He has done some really interesting Art work and explores through various mediums. What interested me was his themed photgraphs and then converted them into installations and scultures based on the same theme.
8) Plain Awesomeness of Goa
This is again in Panjim. All lit up for Christmas.
Arpora Night Market
The best shot I got at Baga Beach.
All the streets in Goa have uniquely designed stars, This one showed the Birth of Jesus and the three gifts.
Shot from the long walk. Baga to Arpora
On the same route. I liked the idea.
Again from the Trash Festival. Used all the plastic cups and KFC buckets to make a Christmas tree.
That sums up my odyssey and possibly all forms of street art in one post!
Happy Reading & Exploring!
To Infinity & Beyond!
