At first there appears to be a tiny ball at the horizon. It slowly comes out of the shadow of clouds, increasing in size. You just look at it. The cooing and chirping of birds constitute the background score (unfortunately, my background has noise of us humans, still it’s pleasant to ears when your eyes are spell bound). The waves of three seas kiss the land gently and you want to be kissed too. You proceed further into the sea and leave your senses to the nature and you concentrate on the sky. The fruit you are longing for is beginning to get ripe and turns into golden colour. The warmth of the rays emitting from it makes your body go crazy. Goosebumps get on you and you forget everything for a moment. Absolute peace and then you see it all. your eyes can’t take any more. The amount of visuals you see are mind boggling. The vast expanse of sea in front of you filled with unknown depths and the land beneath you assuring you are safe, the cool breeze of air filled with pleasant notes and the sky filled with all the warmth of a mother. This is it. This is our mother saying everything is bright and it’s just that we have to open our eyes to see it. That is when I understood how Vivekananda attained his enlightenment there. It wakes up the poet in you.
Another sunrise I had the pleasure to watch was at Sikkim. I forgot to take a picture as I was completely lost in it and by the time I realized, the beauty was lost.
Sunset: Hussain Sagar lake, Hyderabad
My friend had come to the city and I was his guide for the day. When he said he wanted to have a boat ride in Hussain Sagar, I was strongly against it, but in the end it turned out to be great for me.
While in a boat, I was explaining the lake’s history and suddenly turned left. Time stopped. The ball of fire had turned to golden yellow and had made the colour of lake a golden tint. It was great. Never had I felt sunset that beautiful in Hyderabad. It was then that I realized beauty is everywhere hiding to be found. It’s just that we are not looking for it. The Sun was receding into it’s bed formed by candy clouds across the horizon. It was tired after providing us warmth relentlessly for the day and needed a nap just like our body. Nature has a defined clock to reset everything at the end of the day so that we get to enjoy sunrise the next day. Sleep well, Sun (I know that technically the Sun does not set, but it appears as such from our perspective).
I have seen many sunrises that are beautiful, like the one in Gokarna, Thar Desert, etc. but the one mentioned above changed my mind of looking for the beauty of nature everywhere.
There are countless songs sung in praise of sunrise and sunset and my experience is another drop in such ocean.
Cheers!
To photograph sunrises and sunsets is always on my primary checklist whenever I travel to a new place. And if the photograph comes out well, the feeling of satisfaction that I get can not be explained in words. No two sunrises or sunsets are equal. The plethora of colours, its hues and shades are different every time and gives an unique impression on the viewer. Though I have got quite a few of them in my collections , I would like to share two of them here.
The sunrise below was clicked from my hotel balcony in Shimla. The sun can be seen rising behind the hills. It was clicked during late Nov
