Stage was set . A big cloud was coming from nowhere!

Manjunath, local fishermen is not at all worried . He seemed very happy ! he has enough fish for the dinner in his bag now. He said he is going to leave shortly after this rain

Paddy fields in distant turned silver with the help of little light left in the sky

When it really started pouring down the working farmers didn’t even seem to care! for them it is just another downpour. they have to finish the work for the day and go home]

Getting wet in coastal region is fun, not only for us , also for animals. They don’t run for covers ]

After a short stay on the end of the pole the wet crow decided to fly away. It must have realized the rain is getting slower now

Skies opened up slowly revealing the beauty as I stood watching every detail in amazement!

nature’s canvas is the best artistic pleasure that one can enjoy (IMO) though photographing it may be an ‘overdone’ subject.

As I hit the nearby  seashore  it was a different game of light and a very different  atmosphere!

Fishermen would go often with their nets in to the sea hoping to catch few big fish!

For the kids it was a joy to watch how the seniors do it and then enjoy the beach side run

The day started coming to an end but fishermen decided to keep trying until the light completely fades away!
