Photographer’s Note

Like portraits, sunsets are a big favourite of mine, be it from my office window or the forests of Kaziranga. This was taken from a open top jungle safari vehicle inside the tropical marshlands of Kaziranga. We were at the fag end of the safari having spotted about half a dozen one horned rhinocores, deers, wild boars and some other wildlife. Ours was the last vehicle on the way out when our car broke down. In a forest known for its herd of wild elephants, spending the night in the open was the last thought on our mind. But as the sun started dipping on the horizon a beautiful scene unfolded before us and all worries were forgotten for the moment. Thankfully we were rescued in about half an hour as forests guards came looking for us.

Hello Sabayasachi

Hey what more can I say that wouldn't just be repeated. I wanted to add my two cents so to speak though.
Kudos to you for a very remarkable sunset. The colours are out of this world, and I think the silhouette of the trees make the background pop even more. Great work.
Brendon

deblink (2548) 2006-08-24 18:11
