The country is under lock-down for 21 days. I am at a place where density of living beings is high. Fortunately, we are bound by dense vegetation not people. But that does not mean we are safest, we still have to exercise caution. The lock-down is suffocating human respiratory system but at same time is relaxing nature's airways. Nature is trying to teach mankind that our greed is crossing limits and needs lock-down. The balance needs to be restored. Let's check our greed and be in harmony with mother nature.
There are many opportunities photographing in our village. The pandemic which has shut down entire world is constraining our photographic hobby as well. But there are many things to explore nearby my village. For cities, lock-down might seem enigmatic but for villages like mine, it's always virtual lock-down throughout year :-). That's best part of being in secluded location. The nature is fresh always and has become more refreshing due to cut down in vehicular movement. While Twitter is loaded with viral tweets of corona virus, the morning village is loaded with refreshing tweets of early birds. The virus is choking the lungs of human lives but in contrast healing the respiratory system of mother nature
Summer is brewing up here in coastal Karnataka. The humidity in coast is raising. It is not possible to live without full throttled fan. The teas and coffees have taken back seat. The fresh lime juice, cucumber, butter milks are dominating the table. The mud pots are cooling the drinking water. On the other hand corona virus is taking toll on businesses, daily life. The jeopardy is not yet over. I am also working from native village. Despite the yearning to visit the kapu beach, the virus is threatening us. The fear is still looming.
Consequently, the scope of photography is restricted to only nearby our house. The humid weather is attracting clouds and resulting in scattered rains. Today morning, I captured those patchy clouds during sunrise and enjoyed the sun peeking from the eastern horizon. Such a splendid scene of golden sun amidst the diffused clouds. Hope you relish it too!
When incurable virus outbreaks, it is better not go out and stay indoors.if you are within nature you will have the privilege to enjoy the resplendent sunrise or sunset like above. Also a heart touching sunset during evening.
Human greed is unmatched. With corona outbreak, the human civilisation is rattled but nature is blooming. The people who ignored are helpless now. The air is clean and wild is fearless. The nature always strikes a balance. Be it torrential rains from past 2 years or un-seasonal rains this year, nature knows how to reclaim its space. Lets be complacent and honour the laws of nature and probably only solution to chaos

Oh these sky captures look heavenly! And you live in such a beautiful and lush village. I can see that people there at your side takes care of nature and protect it so well that surely it will also do its magic in protecting you against the virus but I very much agree with what you said, caution is still needed and making sure hands and essentials are always washed. I get in touch with my work teammates in Bangalore and they are all at their respective hometowns at the moment. I hope you all are very well there in India! Wishing you all the best and sending you hugs from the Philippines!

What a lovely place to live. - Margy
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful photos and gorgeous skies! I agree with you... I think Mother Nature is getting back at the human race for all the bad things we have done. We need to restore the balance and live in harmony.
ReplyDeleteHuman greed is at fault. Periodically, nature strikes us for balance. It also teaches us to live in harmony instead of being hateful to each other. We will come out restored. The area you live is quite beautiful. Stay safe.
