[Goanet] Subject: More than just Collomb, Mining Village
Thank you FN, Venantius Pinto and H’e’artman, Good to know that there are actually 4 Goans in this forum. The pictures and videos were helpful and made things more clear. For the rest of you who are pretending and ignoring the issues in your backyard, please have a look at the links (it’s only a mouse click away) and then visit these places know firsthand what exactly is happening there. All we know (that includes me) are the Coconut trees and the Beautiful beaches (in our front yard), Shacks, Religious places and Panjim, Margao, Mapusa, Vasco bazaars fish markets. I clicked, Now I know better of what’s going on in the interiors. I will visit these places and do what little I can. Drop by drop, little by little, each and everyone, do what you can to help. Like someone said; ‘You may grow old and die in your beds, but what would you give to get this chance again where you could have done something that would have made the difference!’ Is no one getting provoked? I love you all,Ben.

Does anyone have photos of these mining villages? What are the chances of getting some aerial photographs of the place? Does anyone have any ideas on how to get photographs from the air without breaking any laws! Why are only a few Goans commenting on this topic? Lots of questions, where are the answers? Perhaps with the Lamani's and the Ghanti's. Wake up Goa. Ben.

In each case make sure that you scroll down. Not the best images but under the circumstances. While at it have a look at the River Princess: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://photos.jpgmag.com/57279_33500_33af3d4f8f_p.jpgimgrefurl=http://goa-kranti.blogspot.com/2009/02/ode-to-river-princess-of-goa-by-tony.htmlusg=__kk38qCUVR9bNiwrqufOj09X1l_4=h=473w=658sz=75hl=enstart=75sig2=1CD7XO6PuDTNpUsobsRF8Qum=1tbnid=Fq7psAQWakKQSM:tbnh=99tbnw=138prev=/images%3Fq%3DGoa%2Bmining%2Bimages%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN%26start%3D60%26um%3D1ei=EUPJSefbDNuImQe4ne3wAg Worth reading: (Hartman de Souza) http://kafila.org/2008/08/07/quepem-by-the-kilo-hartman-de-souza-on-mining-in-goa/ Kafila / karavan (serai or otherwise): * Main akela hi chalaa tha jaanib-e-manzil magar Log saath aate gaye… karavaan banta gaya* **[Alone I was when I started towards my destination, but People kept coming along, the caravan kept growing] by Majrooh Sultanpuri (Armstrong Vaz) http://www.nowpublic.com/environment/rape-goa-continues (Hartman on Corporate social responsibility) http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-February/174049.html About aerial photography. One would have to rent a small plane--helicopter is better for low altitudes, and photographer with or without a 3-way gyro. Or do it yourself. Make sure its the right aircraft for the job. (years ago I rented a small plane in Marlborough to fly me over the crop circles near Stonehenge.) Goan photographer living in Bangalore--perhaps one could talk to him: http://ryanlobo.blogspot.com/2007/02/goa.html Then there are the panoramic cameras, but this email is already too heavy. Hope this helps. venantius From: Benedict DeBraganza bendebra2...@yahoo.com Subject: [Goanet] Subject: More than just Collomb, Mining Village Does anyone have photos of these mining villages?
