I haven’t been posting pictures of Jaipur Sky for Friday Skywatch for a while now, until today. This sunrise in Jaipur was so stunning that I couldn’t resist capturing it. Moreover, it fits perfectly with these lines written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“Day’s fondest moments are at dawn,
Refreshed by his long sleep, the Light
Kisses the languid lips of Night
Ere she can rise and hasten on
All glowing from his dreamless rest……..”
–Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Cyclone Ockhi seems to have stirred up the weather system in entire North India. Even though Jaipur was not on Cyclone Ockhi’s path, it did bring some chill in the air. Let me know what you think of this sunrise shot.

One of your best shots I would say. The contrast of dark clouds and glow of sun is superb.

Alok, most of pictures on this blog have been shot using a compact super zoom. Of late…smartphone. This one was shot with a DSLR. Equipment does matter as it allows you to make adjustments. I don’t use LR/PS or any such software which allows enhancements. My philosophy is similar to yours on this issue. Happy to hear you liked this, Alok. 🙂

Craftily taken, indeed beautiful….the contrast and the confluence of rising light and falling darkness. Sunrises as much as the sunset puts our photographer hat into the ring, and with your deft skill you have always captured the moment with fineness…and the beautiful lines by Wheeler Wilcox makes it surreal.
