Skywatch Friday- Another Chilika Lake Sunrise, Odisha, India

Posted on February 24, 2012

Sunrise At Chilika Lake, Odisha, India
Sunrise At Chilika Lake, Odisha, India

It was January 14 (yes that is correct, I am not talking about Feburary 14) and I was with my friends at Barkul, Chilika Lake. We decided to get up early to catch the sunrise. January 14 is Makar Sankranti, a religious festival in India, which is a harvest festival. There are so many major and minor festivals in India that one can easily lose track, I for sure do. And neither am I a big fan of festivals. But on this day there were so many people out early and on the banks of the lake because they had to take a boat to a local temple. Hence so many silhouettes on the bridge.

This is my entry for Skywatch Friday. Why don’t you also share your sky pictures?
