Photography - Beauty of the Sunrise

Hello Everyone!!

             Yesterday morning was a beautiful one. I woke up so early and the sky outside looked so mesmerizing as if it were a beautiful painting. It was all blues and yellows coming together beautifully. The grey clouds gave another dimension to the scenery. The cool breeze and the bird chirrups enhanced the ambience of the atmosphere. I took so many photographs and I am sharing with you three of them. Hope you all will like them.

Before the sunrise

The sun coming up

                 As the sun comes up, everything in the front becomes completely black and the sky changes its hue. The blue becomes darker and yellow becomes brighter. Then light of the sun illuminates whole of the sky and the new day begins!

The sun is here

Photography - Loquat fruit

                    Loquat also known as "Japanese Plum" or "Lugaath" is a pulpy fruit that usually ripens after winter. These are very nutritious and tasty too. I enjoyed eating and photographing them.
