After landing in Andaman by late afternoon, realized the weather was not much different from Chennai. Very tropical, humid, and hot. Trying to get a feeling of the place, we decided to catch up the sunset. Andaman, by way of its location, and single time zone - both the sunrise and sunset happen quite early here. Luckily, our partners in crime had already sorted out a location for potential sunset - Wandoor beach. With a bit of working out on the ride, we left around 4:30 PM. Given the time, we were sure to miss the sunset. But still decided to head out. After an uneventful drive through the town, the urban view gave way to some forests, the forests then opened up to some backwaters. After some lovely views by the side of the road, we headed to the beach. Some interesting conversations, some new connections, and a leisurely stroll by the beach - things were just beginning to unfold. The sun had just sunk by the horizon. The quarter moon, though small, was lighting up the entire landscape. Slowly, the twilight was starting to weave its golden magic. Just when 'I' was thinking that the scene could not be any more beautiful, the stars decided to adorn and twinkled - one by one by one. Awestruck, the 'I' just disappeared into the abyss … Here is a slice of magic from that evening !!!
tranquil night under a blanket of stars - sleep gone, again :) This shot is from a lovely spot is nestled less than 100 kms away from the bustling Bangalore, by the forests of Kanakapura (or whatever is left of it). Stay late, it is great to spend time with the stars :)
Sometimes the most scenic routes in life are the detours you didn't mean to take. Door County, Wisconsin - is one of the premier spots for enjoying fall colors. Am glad we decided to take a detour and explore the back country, for it gifted us with this lovely palette of colors :)
