The Golden Hour ( Sunrise )

The early bird catches the worm, goes a popular saying. And the early photographer catches the sunrise :) .

Timing makes all the difference, especially when you are taking beach photographs. This one was shot between 5:30 AM to 6:00 AM at Hua Hin beach, one of the most beautiful golden sand beaches in the world. The golden light of the sun added to make its beauty manifold.

Wat Chalong

Wat = Buddhist Temple

Wats are most important symbols of Thailand because majority of Thais are Buddhist and they are a sight to behold. Rich carvings, bold colors of red and gold present such a mesmerizing view that its hard to take your eyes off them.

Sunset At India Gate

As we were walking by India Gate one evening, saw a flock of birds sitting on a tree. As we approached, the birds flew away and were promptly frozen in my camera.

Its one of those photos that looks great as a silhouette with the evening glow in the backdrop.

Qutub Minar Glowing In Evening

This one was shot just before it went dark around Qutub Minar. The sodium lamps are on, the natural light is not yet out creating an eerie feeling around the place.

Temple Of The Elephants

This is one of the most interesting temples I have ever seen in my life. Its circular, with the deity in the center surrounded with a circular parapet. Around the parapet, there are elephants of various types and sizes that look like donations from the piligrims. There are 4 entries to this temple and each one is guarded by 2 elephants.

Do look for this temple when you visit Promthep Cap in Phuket.

Thailand, The Land Of Elephants

This is not as big as it looks :)

This is a very small effigy of an elephant that was situated atop a pillar in a temple around Promthep Cape. While this is made of clay, there is a certain glow to this effigy that makes it very enchanting.

Hues of sunset

This is by far the most colorful sunset I have ever witnessed. And mind you, this photo has been through ZERO post-processing. This was somewhere close to Salem and the credit goes to Sonali for spotting the beautiful view and urging me to stop when I was trying to rush through before it got dark.
