battle in the sky

These are few pictures taken on April-23rd between 6-30 and 6-55. Dark clouds gathered over Dharwad around 6-15 pm. As I shot, a thunderstorm was active in the southern direction, probably over Hubli-Dharwad bypass road. The clouds swirled around as though they were in a battle. After an hour or so wind speed reduced, the clouds had scattered, it didn't rain over the city. Rain cooled stream of air blew in from the southern side, making the weather pleasant.

moonset and sunsrise

Captured these pictures on Saturday Feb-27th pre-dawn.

The moon goes vanished behind the horizon. Our western horizon is a slope of a hillock, slightly elevated.

The eastern sky is littered with clouds creating a lovely sunburst. Sun is still below the horizon.

Few minutes later..

In Japanese culture Sunburst is a good omen. I learnt this from a Japanese movie "Tora Tora Tora" which is about the mission to bomb the Pearl Harbor naval base. As the planes are approaching US coast at sunrise, a lovely sunburst covers the eastern sky. One of leads pilot points the sunburst to his team mate with a comment that it's a good omen.

Sunbursts is usually seen in the mornings and evenings when the sun is close to the horizon.
