Amazing Sunsets: Pune, November 2020

:: Galleries – Nature: Sunsets – Nov 2020:

One of my favorite quotes goes: “Watch more sunsets than Netflix “and it’s something I cannot resist! At every opportunity that I can get, I will not miss a sunset.

One cannot be sure of what it might turn out like, but, even if it doesn’t, it’s usually lovely, to see the journey of the sun (or, actually, the Earth we stand on), as it completes a day. Every season (hmm, well, maybe not the piercing summer here) usually offers some great sunsets, especially, as many photographer’s would agree, when the sky is also a tad cloudy.

It was on once such evening, and though, not very cloudy, as usual, with camera in tow, made my way to one of the best spots in Pune, to watch the sunset, little knowing, that what would unfold would be like none other.

Here, are the pictures of this outing – and surely, wouldn’t be the last for me. So, keep watching this space!

Cloudy skies promise a sunset to wait for... Playing with some colour, as we wait for the sunset... Taking in the peace... Solitude

Cloudy skies promise a sunset to wait for... Find your inner glow... The sun eventually makes its appearance. How will it be? Is it a bird? Is it a flame? It's an amazing Sun!

The Sun's flame is a powerhouse for our Universe Birds swoop by in the spectacular glow Evening spotlight?! Picturesque reflections...

Picturesque reflections... Myriad hues of a sun... It's almost like someone turned on the light! Someone took a delicious bite, huh?

It's like an eclipse, ain't it? Very few take a moment to stop by and witness beautiful sunsets... Well, it's almost like capturing the big red planet in our solar system! Shifting hues (do you see?)

Seems like it's rolling downhill! Balancing act, shall we say? Sinking into the arms of the Earth A primary source of all energy in our solar system, the Sun is about 109x the Earth's diameter...

Picture perfect landscape! Sinking in, for a night of rest... There's so much to be grateful for in this world... Shifting focus to the sky, but the Sun yet draws attention.

Trips: Goa – Of Sunsets and Cruises

:: Destinations – India – Goa

Our first day in popular Goa was already off to a great start, with experiences of the old churches that Goa is famed for, the beautiful Mangueshi temple (see the album here). By late afternoon and after grabbing some quick bites and refreshing cool drinks (always needed in humid conditions), we headed to North Goa, across from Panjim to witness more spectacular sights of Goa. See the album below to find out!

Sunset on the Mandovi River, Panjim

 

In this album:

Watching the golden sunset over the Mandovi River, Panjim, as we wait at the pier for a sunset cruise Golden sunsets, dramatic clouds and fishing boats - that's what Goa promises: and delivers - no questions! A picture postcard silhouette of a boat against a sky turned gold in signature Goan-style! A fiery drama of sun against the clouds unfolds, even as boats glide over the calm waters of the Mandovi River, Panjim
Multiple moods of the spectacular evening skies, over the mandovi River at Panjim The sun makes its move; a private yacht stands buoyed in the foreground (Mandovi River, Panjim) The sun is engulfed in hues of yellow and orange of it's own, as it descends on the horizon at Mandovi River, Panjim (Wide Angle) The sun is engulfed in hues of yellow and orange of it's own, as it descends on the horizon at Mandovi River, Panjim (Panorama Trim)
Lights begin to sparkle along the banks after sundown, as we ride our sunset cruise on the Mandovi River, Panjim Tour boats on the Mandovi River, Panjim, adorned in lights - giving that carnival touch (and shake!) to life in Goa Neon signs cast a colorful glow on the waters of the Mandovi River, Panjim Another tour boat like ours - decked up in lights - passes by (as I try hard to have a steady hand on the top deck!)
And another - though this looks a bit eerie in the pic, i'll admit! Yellow and blue tinges, reflected off the lights on a boat docked alongside the banks of Mandovi River, Panjim Lights of hotels and resorts that dot the river bank (man, it's hard to keep a steady hand on board a boat!) Lights, reflections, water, ripples - backed by music. Now, that's Goa for the photographer!
And, we head back to the pier, to wrap up a spectacular day in awesome Goa
