We lived in houses almost a the beach quite far from the village and took walk from home to there and back every day. One day I decided to take my new Nikkor 125mm f2.5 with me to try. I started from our cafe and sybarite looking hippies.

I choose only portraits for this entry. This is one of workers from next guesthouse. Note how he keeps his hand.

I am rushing to the streets of Gokarna itself to show you a woman holding her hand exactly same way.

We have to walk about 2 kilometers. My friend is in front of me and I am late because of taking pictures.

Having reached Gokarna we immediately sit to snack or drink something at Prema cafe. There are other places in Gokarna as well but we most enjoyed that one somewhy. And not only us! These are our neighbors from the same guesthouse.

These are just people we don't know.

My friend lets me take his pictures but would not let publish them. I say that would publish something anyways. Just one photo, ok? It looks quite nice but little bit sad.

Then we proceed deeper into streets of Gokarna. We go past stall with coconuts.

Go past houses with colored doors and windows.

Past the temple. A man is sprinkling water to ground next to his shop which is not to far from temple's entrance. It's hot and dusty.

These are just people on streets.

And again people, people...

A tailor working in his own little shop.

Woman was washing her legs and I was few seconds late to take more natural picture. I publish in because I still like colors and textures.

A small girl is lying on sacks as if she were a princess.

Follow my orders!

It's unfamiliar but very beautiful tourist girl.

Another tourist girl absorbed into her thoughts at the entrance to a book store.

These are nice drawings on legs and feet. Indian women do those only to brides or for big holidays. Tourist girls make it without any sense, just for nice look. I was wearing drawings on my palms as well.
