10 A.M. This is a stretch of beach on the west coast of India. The hot sun has heated up the yellow sand and the haze rises over the sea. Erosion has been eating away at the shore. Miles and miles of beach but except for the few birds not a soul about. This is not a manipulation. I walked quite a distance and turned back without seeing anyone on this stretch of desolate and deserted beach. This is also my entry for the contest.

Would give money to be there for a week or two (2)...lol..

Great shot Ray, like the fog on the sea, it's given the picture a softness, good composition and colors :o)

*now, where did I put my sunglasses and bikini for a lazy day on the beach*

Good luck in the contest.

Desolated, but a wonderful, beach indeed Raj. Think those beaches are pretty hard to find on this world.
Good luck in the contest, my friend.
Regards, Cornelius.

What a great looking beach. Beautiful stretch there, and beautiful trees. I like that fog in the shot. Very nice, Raj.

Such a beautiful beach too and I can see that it is slowly being washed away. With a country as populated as India, I never thought of there being areas that were isolated like this.
I like the stand of palm trees and the misty look beyond the curve of the beach. A fine entry, Raj. Very good luck!

This is the kind of desolation that I would enjoy Raj. A little Corona, a lime and a lawn chair. What a great entry and the colors are super.

Great entry Raj and I hope it does well. I really like the way the beach, trees and the sea disappear into the heat-haze. It's quite spooky in a way.

Beautiful Shot. For some reason I just expect King Kong to be sitting in the trees just out of the shot. It has a very Monster Island feel to it I think. Almost like a place Man was never meant to tread upon. Great choice for the Desolate theme.

Looking at all this great artwork makes me feel like some kind of big-time art buyer,hence the name.
