Skywatch Friday - Golden hour at Nandi Hills

We intentionally chose to visit the Nandi Hills during the golden hour of Sunset. It would be eye-catching to watch and photograph the Sun sinking beneath the silhouette of hills. We were bang on time and reached the peak on time. But alas! :(. The gate will be closed at 6PM and our enthusiasm was thrashed for a moment. With monsoon taking a break, only few clouds were hovering over the stratosphere. Disgusted with our failure, we cursed ourselves for not noting the hill timings. We climbed the unguarded nearby ridge and wow!! What a beautiful sunset at the western horizon. Perfect light metering by the Sun & clouds :).

I took few shots and later we started descending down the hills. Some more glory ahead :). Eventually our visit paid off to some extent after witnessing golden beauty of Sun. Winter would be appropriate to visit when Sun sinks far too early than the closure timing.
