Rising from a cloudy bed

While on vacation to Bali, we did the night trek to reach the summit of Mt.Batur, near Penelokan. The whole climb was during the late night - in the dark. We just had torch to guide us and the clouds were thick. We had reached the top in time for the sunrise, but I was skeptical about the clouds - will they give us the opportunity to view the spectacle?
But just then, the skies cleared and the sun shone unabashed from its bed of clouds.  We even caught a view of Mount Rinjani and Mount Agung.

Sunrise in Kumaon

around 5:45 a.m.. i come out of my room at Munsyari and i see this.... This is Kumaon range, bathed in the first rays... the five peaks seen at the left are called Panchachuli... Its believed that Yudhistira (of Mahabharata) went to heaven from the highest peak of the Panchachuli range...

A Fishy Affair

It was nice calm morning of thursday the 8th... and leaving the warmth of my bed at 7 am (!!), I headed off to the Versova fishing colony. The sight was really appetizing (at least to all sea food lovers), but the stench had its own repealing effect.
Well, call it passion or madness, we stayed and clicked... (the photos, with the place & with the people).. Here's some of our aromatic moments

When the world turns over, and the Sun rises.......

Puri, Orissa.....
Orissa, India - on the way to Puri, I saw the golden ball rise ... Be'er Sheva, Israel -- a new day begins, a new canvas gets painted and I applaud at the hues......
