Out for a walk

I was intrigued by the sight of these Indian women wading though the surf. The last I saw, they were close to the resort, quite a distance from where this was taken.

I see them sometimes on the Texas coast wearing these long garments that are dictated by their culture---so inappropriate for the setting. It amazes me how the women put up with the restrictions on every facet of their lives! I would not make a good diplomat! Voted.

When you're hot and need to cool off...

You captured a very enjoyable moment. These two ladies convey serenity and relax. Then at least they wear something so nicely colourful!

Excellent capture of the happy two with the open ocean and hope that they have bring a second outfit with them. Superb candid, Helen. V

interesting to wear saris and not swimsuits...perhaps all their culture's sense of decency permits...still, they must have enjoyed a paddle in the sea..

a good way of cooling, but its a job to get the salt and tidemark out of the clothes
