Arabian Sea Sunset

Last night I was going back through all the amazing photographs I took while in India last year and wondering…what should I do with them?

This one stood out.

At least tonight it did, when I’m having that very strong urge to travel again.

I was camped up under a huge mass of reeds just beyond the beach on the Kagal Peninsula in Karnataka, right up against the Arabian Sea. At dusk, a mass of bats flew from a cave just above my tent. By the time I woke up in the morning, they were home.  One morning there was a sea snake on the beach. One evening a pod of dolphins came close.  Every day there were Brahmin eagles all over the place.

Almost every single evening the sun set like this. I love the way the sun seems to be melting and dripping into the sea.

More posts from my time in India are here, here, here and here.  Also, take a look at this post, ships of the Arabian Sea.  Wow.  I’ll never forget that night.
