I spent the whole of last week in the middle of a plantation in Wayanad, one of Kerala’s districts that lie on the Western Ghats. In the middle of the week, there was a downpour that restored the pleasant weather that Wayanad used to be known for. Two days later there came another round of summer showers.

That evening as I sat on my terrace trying to get some stronger phone signals for my Bangalore-based cellphone connection, I found myself watching the cloudy evening sky and by the end of the day, I had a collection of cell phone pictures of the sky.

A overcast evening sky,  Wayanad, Kerala.

A little later, the sky lit up. I guess the sun was going down behind those clouds. 

And then the bright light behind the clouds began to fade…

…till all was dark around me.

      I love watching the day turn into the night. I'm never up to see the transition that happens in the morning. 🙂
      Thank you, Laurie. 🙂

    I have to say I love this series not only because it is beautiful, but it tells a story of a few moments in your life. I am a bit confused as to where you are … Western Ghats? My geography is old school … so much has changed since I learned it in school and sadly I haven't kept up with it. But, I am very interested in learning about new places or old places with new names, it you have the time to share the information. Very nice post …

      Thank you, Andrea. 🙂

      The Western Ghats is a mountain range that runs along the Indian West Coast, Andrea. It's known for its lush vegetation and rich fauna. 🙂

      Isn't it?
      I didn't really have plans to watch the sky. I think I should do this a little more often and look for more photogenic places to focus on.

    Wayanad is one of the last pristine places in India… the pictures sure capture the mood of the evening…

      Wayanad is still pretty green and unspoilt. And I'm lucky it is home. 😉
      Thank you, Prasad.

      Filters? Wow! that's a lovely way to look at it, my dear poetess.
      I love how your lovely mind works, Kokila.

      I like the filter analogy better. 😉

      Thank you so much. 🙂

      It was a done just out of the blue. It was quite strange how it turned pink all of a sudden and went back to being shades of grey.

      Wayanad? I hope that wish comes true soon. Maybe you should ride down 😉

    Looks like in an attempt to have a cell phone connection, you connected with nature. Beautiful shots Dee.

      That's an awesome comment. Some signature Saru-thinking, there. 😉
