Ducks at Bhimtal

Ducks at Bhimtal Uttrakhand
In the Golden Light

I made an exception and got early at my last day Bhimtal to go around and take a few pictures. The sun rises at an angle that makes the water go golden particularly on the ripples. I like this photo a lot now. But when I took it I was in a hurry and did not look at the pictures on the LCD screen. It was only when I was far far away from the place that I realized that the gold on the ripples looks so beautiful. I could have tried a better shot had I known how they look in a picture.

There are two lessons for me in this story. One that sometimes I am so glued to the camera that I do not really look at the scene. And two that I should worry about the battery later (more so as I have two) and use my camera LCD more.

  1. Lovely colors on this picture… I like that the gold almost matches the orange in the beaks and the white is in strong contrast to the blue of the water.
