Golden...

It's a wonderful creation of God. Ofcourse, we've all cursed it during summer months, but the Sun is so much more than just a big ball of heat. I've always loved watching sunsets,and sometimes sunrises too, and have always been enamoured by its beauty. I love it when the sun sets, and my living room is enveloped by the sun's rays and turns into a beautiful orange colour. The most wonderful sights of nature are those, when the clouds turn pink,orange and dark blue as the sun goes down...truly a beautiful image.


More than just watching gorgeous sunsets, I love capturing them on camera. For what can be more amazing a scene to capture than nature in all its glory? Here are some of my favourite snaps of the wonderful Golden Star....


This picture was taken from a friend's balcony just before the sun was to set. The sunlight falling on the water, with the Sea Link looking oh so tiny as compared to the wonderful sun. This picture always makes me smile to myself.....what is a man-made structure in comparison to the glory of God?


Another one of my favourites, is a picture I took on a trip to Rajasthan.

Taken from inside a palace, you can see the sun's golden rays through the beautiful floral carvings of the window. Try as you might, but the sun's rays will find you no matter how dark a room you try to hide in. :) I love how the sunlight makes the floral design "come alive" and shine.


Such a simple scene, but possessing so much depth, this picture was taken from the sands of Goa. I love how the golden light of the sun covers everything, making even the majestic blue sea shine with a tinge of gold.


No, this is not a painting, but another picture taken along the beaches of Goa. I love the beautiful colours of this photo...grey clouds turning orange, with a little bit of pink, the white waves lashing to and fro from the dark blue sea, along the brown sands of the beach. A beautiful image, created by none other than Mother Nature.
Really, there are very few things as awe inspiring as the ways and colours of nature, especially that of the sun.
