Photo Essay – Sky Watching, Monsoon Season
The natural colors.
[Text and pictures by Mayank Austen Soofi]
In the monsoon, the most beautiful thing to look for are not the rains but the sky. After a heavy shower, the clouds scatter but the wetness lingers in the air. Not sure of itself, the sky doesn’t know if it needs to be blue, orange, pink, maroon, or if it’s dusk, black. The Delhi Walla discovered it one evening, which followed a rainy afternoon.
Hint of pink?
Shades of blue?
Green-filtered
Wire-studded
Orange horizon?
Deep like the sea
Blessed with blue
Like a painting
Great pics!!!to gaze and marvel at the clouds one must climb up the narrow,musty staircase of Madhi Masjid(near Dadabari Jain temple in Mehrauli) and then behold the view from the top. It affords an excellent view of the wooded areas of Mehrauli with Qutb Minar in the distance. During the rains,there may be some peacocks wandering too…
Or one could go to Jahaz Mahal,its quite nice there at sunset…
