Saudade at the Chapora Fort. 20th March, 2004
"These are photos from Chapora Fort. I only met a few locals there, but no one else. At the time it was a really quiet place with few tourists. Due to the lack of well-preserved buildings, the fort itself looks like a mysterious place, conducive to thoughtful reflection, especially at the end of the season in Goa."
