sunset on nashik-pune highway

Yesterday we were returning from Nashik to Pune late afternoon. After Ghargaon, next to newly opened Kamat Hotel, I stopped my car to capture this stunning Sunset.

view of Vaitarna Dam backwaters from Zarwad Village

These are from my old archives. All photos are taken with film camera Nikon F55 and Nikkor 28-80 kit lens.
The village is exactly at the backwaters of Vaitarna dam, near nashik. By road one can reach this village, from Trimbakeshwar. From Mumbai-Agra highway, near ghoti, one has to cross the Vatiarna Dam on a raft and then one can reach this village. Before construction of Vaitarna Dam, this village was the main Market place. After the Dam was built the market place was shifted to Ghoti and all the development in this region was stopped. My friend , who is in the business of Outdoor advertising in Nashik, purchased a farm land in this village. The photos are taken from her Farm Land. After she started developing the farm, she did rigorous with the government authorities and some developments were done in the village, including a good Tar Road, ST Bus was started to this village after more than 12 years.

I am sharing few photos from this location. please provide your comments.

Sunset at Tarkarli Beach, Malvan, Konkan

This Diwali, I went to my Native in Konkan. I was in my native for one week but we couldn't go out anywhere due to heavy rains in Konkan. On thursday, rains took some halt and we finally decided to go to Tarkarli Beach which is around 25KMs from my home.

Tarkarli Beach is next to Malvan, Sindhudurga. You have to take left turn from the Malvan bus stand and its around 6 KM from there. Its a beautiful beach with white soft sand. You just cannot enjoy it in one day.
Government of Maharashtra and MTDC has started lot of tourism activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving on this beach to promote tourism. This is a very safe beach and one can even see dolfins, if you are lucky.

Sky over Pune - June 2010

These monsoon days, Sky over Pune is very dramatic during mornings and evenings. Captured some sky from my terrace.

Vengurle Beach

Last month, we got an opportunity to visit my native in Konkan function. During the stay, we went to Sagareshwar, Vengurle Beach in the evening. Sharing few shots taken on Vengurle Beach.

The sun was setting, but the sky was cloudy and light was low. My son, Pranav was enjoying, playing on the beach. He calls sea as "Face-Nadi" (Foam river). I was watching him playing in the water. He threw sand on Prashant and was running back as Prashant was trying to catch him. I could not resist to sit in the water and capture this moment.

These childrens were playing in the sand and that reminded me of my childhood memories, when we use to visit Juhu beach, when I was a kid.
