The 'Rainbow Ring' around the Sun



I was excited when someone told me of a spectacular 'Rainbow Ring' around the Sun, on the 8th of March. One could not see it fully, simply because of the blinding Sunlight. To add to it was a stream of smoke left behind by a jet plane. I salvaged whatever I could( hardly anything but brightness was visible on the preview pane). Reviewing the pics, I feel that the jet smoke added to the beauty of the Sun!

Samudra @ Dusk



My family decides  to visit the Gandhi statue beach at short notice.  I would have loved to be there with a bit of brightness around but I couldn't have chosen the time.  Now my limitations in handling the manual settings are in full view.  If only I had a stable hand.......

Jharokha Darshan- Final- Moonset and Enlightenment - Chennai to Arakkonam


One early morning I moved out of town. As I looked out of the window, I saw the Moon still up on a dark canvas. Then, after a while, I felt some brightness, after which I saw 'light'.

Jharokha Darshan from the Train-I- Chennai to Bangalore


Recently, I found myself travelling by train very frequently. These pictures are a 'Jharokha' darshan of the Sun. For the uninitiated, it means a window- side view. Akbar was the first emperor to have given a Jharokha darshan to his subjects! It took about an hour and a half to click all of them......

The Sun in Chennai, 20th February, 2013


I lost myself when I saw the setting Sun as I was returning from work. I'm sure you'll all agree!

This is just the beginning.... please keep viewing! If only the crow were crossing the Sun's face...
